(Raga Saramga)
Beni Gunthi Kaha Kou Jane Meri Si Teri Saun.
Bicha Bicha Phula Seta Pita Rate Ko Kari Sakai Eri Saun. [1]
Baithe Rasika S.nvarani Barani Komala Kara Kakahi Saun.
Shriharidasa Ke Svami Syama Nakhasikha Lon Banai De Kajara Nakha Hi Saun. [2]
- Shri Swami Haridas Ji, Kelimal (70)
Today Shri Lāla (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) yearns for the fortune of braiding the hair of Shri Pyārī Jū (Śrī Rādhā). Shri Priyājū gently remarks that this service belongs to the sakhis, but Lalji, with loving insistence, pleads again and again—
O PyārīJū! I swear by You, who else knows the art of braiding hair as I do? No one can arrange white, yellow, and red flowers between the strands as beautifully as I can. [1]
(At this, Shri PyārīJū agrees, and Śrī Lālji, filled with joy, begins to braid Her hair.)
Sitting gracefully, the crown-jewel among Rasikas, Śrī Lālji, takes a soft comb in His delicate hand and gently arranges Her locks. When Lālji finishes the braid, PyārīJū, pleased, permits Him to adorn Her with garments and ornaments. Then Śrī Lālji lovingly decorates Her from head to toe, even applying kājala (kohl) with His own fingernail. [2]
