Sundari Aparupa Dekhala Aja

Sundari Aparupa Dekhala Aja

Govinda Das Kaviraj has written this song “Sundari Aparupa Dekhala Aja”. This song is taken from the book Padavali. In this song, Govinda Das Kaviraj has described how Srimati Radharani left to meet Lord Krishna, without caring whether her ornaments were proper or not.
 
(Refrain)
sundari aparupa dekhala aja
hari abhisara       bharama bhare sundari
bichurala saja bisaja
 
(1)
mani masjira          yatane ani dhani
so pahiranu du-i hata
kinkini gima        hara bali pahirala
hara saja-ola matha
 
(2)
ghana andhiyara       rajani jani kajara
garajata barikhata meha
bisadhara bharala        durata patha patara
ekali calali teji geha
 
(3)
cadhala manorathe          dosara manamathe
patha bipatha nahi mana
gobinda-dasa       kaha-i braja-nagari
aichana bhetali kana
 
 
(Refrain) The beautiful gopi looked at the wonderful arrangement. Yearning to meet Krsna, she took no care that the ornaments were proper or not.
 
(1) With both hands she carefully placed jewel anklets on her feet. She placed a necklace on her neck and an ornament on her head.
 
(2) The night was dark like black kajjala. The clouds thundered and rained. Snakes slithered on the path. Leaving her home, she walked all alone.
 
(3) She was filled with longing. Kama was her only companion. She did not care if she walked on the path or on the places where there was no path. Govinda dasa says: This vraja-gopicertainly met Lord Krsna.
