(Sawaiya)
Anjan Manjan Tyagau Ali
Ang Dhari Bhabhut Karau Anuragai. [1]
Apun Bhag Karyau Sajani
In Bavre Udhau Ju Ko Kahan Lagai. [2]
Chahai So Aur Sabai Kariyai
Ju Kahai Raskhan Sayanap Agai. [3]
Jo Man Mohan Aisi Basi
To Sabai Ri Kahau Mukh Goras Jagai. [4]
- Shri Raskhan, Raskhan Ratnavali
In this pada, the Gopīs mock Uddhav's counsel to adopt yogic practices for enduring separation from Śrī Kṛṣṇa. They steadfastly embrace loving devotion, dismissing external rituals as they recognize the perfection of their path.
A Braj Maiden declares, "O friend! Shall we forsake our adornments and smear ashes upon our bodies? O Sakhī, simply obey your heart—this Uddhav has lost his senses; how could he comprehend love's true path?" [1]
O Sakhi, pursue your desires later if you must, but first reflect wisely: the Enchanter Śrī Kṛṣṇa resides within our minds, and every heart remains captive to His butter-smeared Lotus Face (we tread solely the path of love). [2]
