परिस्फुरतु सुन्दरं चरित्रमत्र लक्ष्मीपते-
स्तथा भुवननन्दिनस्तदवतारवृन्दस्य च ।
हरेरपि चमत्कृतिप्रकरवर्धनः किन्तु मे
बिभर्ति हृदि विस्मयं कमपि रासलीलारसः ॥
parisphuratu sundaraṁ caritram atra lakṣmī-pates
tathā bhuvana-nandinas tad-avatāra-vṛndasya ca |
harer api camatkṛti-prakara-vardhanaḥ kintu me
bibharti hṛdi vismayaṁ kam api rāsa-līlā-rasaḥ ||
(Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu: 2.1.210)
[Uddhava:] “The beautiful feats of Lakṣmīpati and his avatāras who delight the world may manifest in full here [i.e., throughout the universe], but the rasa of the rāsa-līlā, which increases the abundance of even Hari’s astonishment, continually produces some sort of [indescribable] wonder in my heart.”
