(Kavitt)
Chahat Hain Jaaki Raj Sambhu Chaturanan Se,
Chahat Hain Jaaki Raj Sambhu Chaturanan Se,
Karein Gungan Utsah Bas Hi Kau Hai. [1]
Dhar Dhar Dhyaan Haare Samal Sujan Hi Kau,
Swamini Kripa Bina Na Milat Ghari Kau Hai. [2]
Karat Khavasi Haridasi Harivansi Vyasi,
Jihi Jo Divavein Hoy Dasi Bhav Jee Kau Hai. [3]
Lal Balabir Nikau Laage Praan Pikau Pyaarau,
Vrindavan - Chand Vrishabhanu Nandani Kau Hai. [4]
- Shri Lal Balbir, Braj Binod, Vrindavan Ashtak (2)
The great personalities like Lord Śiva, Lord Caturānana, etc., desire the divine rāj [dust] of Vṛndāvan. They lovingly sing the divine glories of Vṛndāvan and always desire to stay in Vṛndāvan. [1]
Those Paramahaṁsas and devotees, with their transcendental meditation, fix their mind upon Śrī Kṛṣṇa, yet, without the grace of the supreme authority of Vṛndāvan, Śrī Rādhā Mahārāṇī, they could never get access to stay in Vṛndāvan, even for a moment. [2]
Śrī Rādhā and Vṛndāvan are served by Śrī Rādhā’s three very own associates: Śrī Haridāsī (Swāmī Haridās), Śrī Harivaṁśī (Śrī Hita Harivaṁśa Mahāprabhu), and Śrī Vyāsī (Śrī Harirām Vyaṣa). Whosoever is graced by them can only serve Śrī Vṛndāvan and gets the fortune of being a maidservant of Śrī Rādhā — no one else can even think about it. [3]
Śrī Lal Balbir says this divine land, Vṛndāvan, is captivating and is more dear to Lord Kṛṣṇa than His very own life, because this king of forests, Śrī Vṛndāvan Dham, belongs to the one and only, Śrī Rādhā Thākuraṇī! [4]
