“Daybreak has arrived,
O Lotus of the bees
Of the entire village’s thirst-stricken eyes!
[Therefore, without delay]
Depart for your distant, dear village
Where the chief among your numerous elders are present
[Since otherwise you will undergo shame before them].”

“Glory to you! Glory to you!
O Root of Gokula’s good fortune!
[Alt., O Cloud which showers good fortune like rain upon Gokula!]
O Lotus for the bumblebees of Vraja’s young women!
O you by whom Nanda’s bliss is increased at every moment!
O Śrī Govinda! O Acyuta!
O Giver of happiness to the bowed!”

“The dawn,
By nature merciless to young women,
Has swiftly arrived at the Eastern Mountain.
Therefore, O Lord of Vraja!
Quickly and stealthily go
From the bank of the Yamunā [back] to your home.”

“O Friend of Gokula!
Glory to you!
O Ocean of rasa!
Wake up!
Give up this bed akin to the moon!
And awaken your lover,
Favorable out of love (prīti),
And resting on your shoulder,
Exhausted from the load of lovemaking.”

“His entire body
Marked with the signs of enjoyment
With artful gopī lovers,
Pure,
And unattainable by the words of Vedas—
I take shelter in Brahman,
The thief of fresh butter.”
