Madhava Dhairaya Na Kara Gamane

Madhava Dhairaya Na Kara Gamane

Govinda Das Kaviraj has written this song “Madhava Dhairaya Na Kara Gamane”. This song is taken from the book Padavali. In this song, Govinda Das Kaviraj reveals Srimati Radharani’s distressed state when she is separated from Lord Krishna.

(Refrain)
mādhaba dhairaya nā kara gamane
tohāri biraha dhanī      antara jarajara
mānasa milana śamane

(1)
dhūli-dhūsara dhanī        dhairaya nā dhara
dharaṇī śūtala bharame
mukata kabarī-bhāra      hāra teyāgala
tāpita bhūṣita parāṇe

(2)
bigalita ambara       sambara nahe dhanī
sura-sutā srabe nayāne
kamalaja kamale-i        kamalaja jhāmpala
so-i nayana bara bayāne

(3)
mā bola-i dhanī       dharaṇī-tale mūrachani
prāṇa prabodha nā māne
kaha-i caturā dhanī      āra kiye hoya jāni
gobinda-dāsa paramāṇe

(Refrain) O Krsna, You do not go to her and make her peaceful. Separated from You, a beautiful girl feels her heart is now overcome. Now her heart is on the verge of death.
(1) Now that girl is covered with dust. She is not peaceful. She lies on the ground. She removes her necklace. She unties her braids. Now her life’s breath is decorated with flames.
(2) Her garments are in disarray. She has lost all restraint. A Yamuna of tears flows from her eyes. Her beautiful eyes are like lotus whorls in the lotus of her face.
(3) She speaks not a word. On the ground she has fallen unconscious. I do not think her life’s breath is still awake. An intelligent girl speaks some words to her. What will happen now?Govinda dasa is the witness of all this.
