Ras Bardhan Yaha Maan Kunwari Kau - Shri Bhatt Devacharya, Yugal Shatak (25)

(Doha)
Keerata Kunshi Kumodani, Sakai Basa Ko Jana.
Sribhata Bhanukumari Kau, Rasabardhan Yaha Mana.

(Pad) [Eiktal, Rag Kedarau]
Rasa Bardhan Yaha Maan Kunwari Kau.
Keerata Kunshi Kumodani Jaki, Sakai Basa Ko Jani Kunwara Kau. [1]
Madhur Bastu Jyaun Khaat Nirantara, Hota Maha Sushdani Kunwari Kau.
Beech Beech Katukadik Jai Sribhatt, Ati Ruchidayaka Bhanu Kunvari Kau. [2]

(Doha)
Who can comprehend the mystery of Śrī Kīrtī's daughter, Śrī Rādhā's māna [loving sulk] with Śyāmasundara? Śrī Bhaṭṭa Devācārya Jī says that Her māna toward Kṛṣṇa only increases the nectar of divine love.

(Pada)
Who can understand the inner mystery of the loving pastimes of māna performed by youthful Śrī Rādhikā, who blossomed like a night-blooming lily from the womb of Śrī Kīrti Jī? Just as few truly appreciate the fragrance and charm of the kumudinī flower, so too the profound significance of Her loving displeasure remains beyond ordinary understanding. Yet this māna-līlā serves only to deepen and expand the nectar of divine love. [1]

Just as continuously eating only sweet foods certainly gives pleasure, yet their sweetness is appreciated even more when occasionally contrasted with bitter or pungent flavors, similarly, Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī explains that the loving māna of Vṛṣabhānu-nandinī continually enhances the sweetness of divine rasa. It preserves its ever-fresh relish and makes it all the more delightful for the rasika devotees. [2]
