(Rag Devgandhar)
Dou Rajat Syama Syam.
Braj-Juvati-Mandali Birajati, Dekhatin Surgan-Baam. [1]
Dhanya Dhanya Vrindavan Kau Sukh, Surpur Kaunain Kaam.
Dhani Brishbhanu-Suta, Dhani Mohan, Dhani Gopani Kau Naam. [2]
Inki Ko Dasi Sari Hwai Hai, Dhanya Sarad Ki Jaam.
Kaisenhun ‘Sur’ Janam Braj Pavain, Yah Sukh Nahin Tihun Dhaam. [3]
- Sri Surdas, Soor Sagar (1696)
Śrī Rādhikā and Śyāmasundar are both magnificently adorned, and along with them, the entire group of the women of Vraja shines in beauty. From the sky, celestial maidens too gaze eagerly, longing for their darśan. [1]
They say to one another—“This Vṛndāvan is supremely blessed, for here bliss spreads in every direction. Compared to it, even the beauty of heaven appears insignificant. Blessed is Vṛṣabhānu-nandinī Śrī Rādhā Mahārānī, blessed is Nanda-nandan Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and blessed indeed are all these gopīs.” [2]
Who could ever attain a fortune equal to that of these maidservants of the divine couple, Śrī Rādhā Mādhava? Blessed is this full moon night of Śarada. How might we take birth in this Vraja to experience such bliss? In the words of Śrī Sūrdās, such nectar does not exist anywhere in the three worlds. [3]
