Raas Rachyo Vrajachadr Bihari - Shri Kishoridas (Gaudiya Saint)

(Raag Kedarau Tatha)
Raas Rachyo Vrajachadr Bihari.
Shri Vandavan Jamuna Ke Tat, Sarad Nisa Ujiyari. [1]
Eka Ten Eka Sakhi Sab Sundar, Sarvopar Radhapyari.
Baanh Jori Mandali Banavat, Manahu Main Phulavari. [2]
Urap Tirap Gati Let Paraspar, Latakani Ki Balihari.
Kishori Daas Svamini Tehi Ausar, Rang Rakhyau Atibhari. [3]

- Shri Kishoridas (Gaudiya Sant)

On a full-moon autumn night, beneath the radiant sky of Śrī Vṛndāvana, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the moon of Vraja, performs an enchanting Rāsa on the sacred banks of the Yamunā. [1]

Within the divine circle of the Rāsa, every sakhī shines with extraordinary beauty, each more enchanting than the last, yet the beauty of beloved Śrī Rādhā reigns supreme among them all. The sakhīs join their arms together, forming a beautiful circle that appears like an enchanting flower garden of Kāmadeva, the god of love. [2]

During the rāsa-dance, they move in perfect rhythmic steps, and all are utterly captivated by the charming grace, captivating poses, and enchanting expressions. Śrī Kiśorīdāsa Jī says that on this divine occasion, his beloved Svāminī, Śrī Rādhārānī, has filled the entire Rāsa-līlā with extraordinary splendour through Her incomparable beauty and enchanting dance of divine love.
