(Raag Sarang)
Aisen Basie Braj Ki Bithini.
Gvaran Ke Panvare Chuni-Chuni, Udar Bharijai Sithini. [1]
Painde Ke Sab Brichha Birajat, Chhaya Param Punitani.
Kunj-Kunj-Prati Loti-Loti, Braj-Raj Lagai Rang-Ritani. [2]
Nisi Din Nirakhi Jasoda-Nandan, Aru Jamuna-Jal Pitani.
Parasat Sur Hot Man Pavan, Darasan Karat Atitani. [3]
- Sri Surdas, Soor Sagar (1108)
Brahmā says, one should live in the lanes of Braja in such a way that one sustains oneself through the remnants of food left upon the leaf-plates of the Brajavāsīs and cowherds. [1]
This is my supreme longing — that I may reside along those paths adorned with big, shady trees, and roll again and again in the groves, covering my body with the sacred dust of Braja, so that my heart may become saturated with the color of divine love and devotion. [2]
While living there, may I behold Śrī Kṛṣṇa day and night and partake of the waters of Yamunā. Sūradāsa says that by the mere touch of this sacred dust and the devotional contact of Yamunā Jī, the mind becomes pure and sanctified, and thus the vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa becomes easily attainable. [3]
