Jamuna Jal Mein Nirashahi - Shri Bhata Devacharya, Yugal Shatak (90)

Jamuna Jal Mein Nirashahi - Shri Bhata Devacharya, Yugal Shatak (90)

(Doha)
Jamuna Jal Mein Nirashahi, Jhuki Chanchal Nij Jhaahi.
Dou Jan Thaade Lapati Ur, Ekahi Shuhiya Maahi.


(Pad) [Iktal, Raag Malhar]
Thaade Dou Ekai Shuhiya Maahi.
Bansibat Tat Jamuna Jal Mein, Nirashat Chanchal Jhaahi.
Kaari Kamariya Antar Dampati, Syama Syama Lapatahi.
Shri Bhat Krishna Koot Mein Kanchan, Jal Barshat Jhalakahi.

- Shri Bhatt Devacharya, Yugal Shatak (90)

(Doha)
One day, Śrī Priyā-Priyatama sat upon the bank of Śrī Yamunā near Vaṁśīvaṭa, joyfully gazing at Their playful reflections dancing upon the water. To shield Themselves from the gentle shower of rain, They covered Themselves beneath a single black woolen wrap (kārī kamarī).

(Pada)
Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī says: Seated upon the bank of the Kālindī near Vaṁśīvaṭa, Śrī Priyā-Priyatama behold Their gently swaying reflections in the rippling water and experience supreme delight. At that very moment, tiny raindrops begin to fall from the clouds. Seeing the rain, the sakhīs lovingly spread over Them a single delicate black wrap woven with the finest threads. Beneath that dark covering, Yugala Kiśora, Śrī Śyāmā-Śyāma, appear lovingly embraced under the pretext of sheltering from the rain. Standing together beneath that one covering, Śrī Priyā-Priyatama appear indescribably beautiful. Describing that incomparable vision, Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī says: just as rain falls upon a dark mountain while hidden gold shines from within, so too, beneath the black wrap during the rainfall, the golden effulgence of Śrī Priyā Jī shines forth in all its splendor.
