Jo Rasna Ras Na Vilase - Shri Raskhan, Raskhan Ratnavali

Jo Rasna Ras Na Vilase - Shri Raskhan, Raskhan Ratnavali

(Sawaiya)
Jo Rasna Ras Na Vilase, Tehi Dehu Sada Nij Naam Uccharan. [1]
Mo Kat neeki Kare Karni, Jo Pai Kunj Kutiran Dehu Buharan. [2]
Siddhi Samridhi Sabe Raskhani, Nahaun Braj Renuka Sang Sanwaran. [3]
Khas Nivas Mile To Sahi, Vahi Kalini Kula Kadamb Ki Daaran. [4]

- Shri Raskhan, Raskhan Ratnavali

If the tongue does not taste of the essence of love, then it should be devoted to the chanting of the Lord’s name.[1]

If the hands seek auspicious deeds, they should be engaged in serving the bower-cottages of Braj.[2]

If one desires the perfection of devotion, one should bathe in the sacred essence of Braj.[3]

And if one seeks the supreme divine abode, it exists only in Vṛndāvana, beneath the kadamba trees on the banks of the Yamunā.[4]
