SWAYYA

When Krishna, the son of Nand, played on his flute, all the women of Braja were fascinated

The birds and animals of the forest, whoever listened, was filled with joy

All the woman, meditating on Krishna, became motionless like portraits

The water of Yamuna became immobile and listening to the tune of the flute of Krishna, the women and even the wind got entangled.638.

For one ghari (a short while), the wind got entangled and the water of the river did not proceed further

Heart-throbs of all the women of Braja, who cam there, had increased and the limbs were trembling

They lost the consciousness of their body completely

They all became mere portraits on listening to the flute.639.

Krishna taking the flute in his hand is fearlessly playing on it and listening to its voice, the birds of the forest, deserting it, are coming away

The gopis are also pleased on listening it and are becoming fearless

Just as on listening to the voice of the horn, the doe of the black deer becomes spell-bound, in the same way, on listening to the flute, the gopis are standing wonder-struks, with mout

The tune of the flute from the mounth of Krishna is highly impressive and withing it abide the tunes of the kmusical modes of Sorath, Devgandhar, Vibhas and Bilawal

The body of Krishna is like gold and the Glory of the face is like that of the moon, listening to the tune of the flute, the mind of the gopis has only remained entangled teherein.641.

The peace-giving tune is being played n the flute concerning the musical modes of Devgandhari, Vibhas, Bilawal, Sarang Sorath, Shuddh Malhar and Malshri

Hearing it, all the gods and men, getting pleased, are running and they are bewitched by the tune with such intensity that they seem to have been entrapped in some noose of love spread by Krishna.642.

He, whose face is extremely beautiful and who has put on yellow cloth on his shoulders

He, who destroyed the demon Aghasura and who had protected his elders from the mouth of the snake

He who is the destroyer of the tyrants and remover of the sufferings of the saints, that Krishna, playing on his savoury flute, has allured the mind of gods.643.

He, who gave kingdom to Vibhishna, killed Ravana in great rage, who cut off the head of Shishupal with his disc

Who is beautiful like the god of love and who is Ram, the husband of Sita, who is unequalled in beauty by anyone, that Krishna with his flute in his hands, is now fascinating the mind of charming gopis.644.

Radha, Chandarbhaga and Chandarmudhi all are singing together and absorbed in amorous sport

The gods are also seeing this wonderful play, leaving their abodes

Now listen to the short story about the killing of the demon.645.

The place, where the gopis were dancing, the flowers had blossomed there and the black bees were humming, the river together singing a song

They were playing there fearlessly and affectionately and both of them were not accepting defeat from each other in reciting poetry etc.646.
