Kiya Tha Gopiyon Ne Yahi - Dandi Svami Shri Hare Krishnanand Sarasvati ‘Hare Krishn’, Vrindavan Shatak (23)

(Kavitt)
Kiya Thaa Gopiyon Ne Yahi To Katyayani Vrat,
Chanchal Chitt Chor Ki Chaah Bhari Chaat Pai. [1]
Prem Men Vibhor Use Dekh Nahi Hota Kaun?
Kaun Nahi Jata Bik Jake Prem Haat Pai. [2]
Bari Darau Harekrishn! Kalpataru Koti Koti,
Eka Hi Kadamb Ke Vichitr Tatavat Pai. [3]
Dekh Kar Chir Bandhe Jaan Yahi Padata Hai,
Ata Hai Churane Shyaam Chir Chiraghat Pai. [4]

- Dandi Svami Shri Hare Krishnanand Sarasvati ‘Hare Krishn’, Vrindavan Shatak (23)

It was in this very Śrīdhāma Vṛndāvana that the gopīs observed the vow of Śrī Kātyāyanī Devī out of an intense longing to attain the playful, heart-stealing Śrī Kṛṣṇa. [1]

Beholding this abode, who would not become overwhelmed with divine love? Upon entering this bazaar of divine love created by the Lord, who indeed would not surrender their very self? [2]

Śrī Harekṛṣṇa says that millions upon millions of wish-fulfilling kalpavṛkṣa trees can be sacrificed for the enchanting beauty and grandeur of just a single kadamba tree at this Cīraghāṭa. [3]

Seeing the garments tied to the kadamba tree here, even today it feels as though Śyāmasundara Himself arrives at this Cīraghāṭa to steal the clothes. [4]
