TRANSLATION
1) Just worship Sri Gaurahari, who is always affectionate toward His devotees.
He is the same Supreme Godhead, Krsna, who sported in
the cowherd pastures of Vraja and stole the hearts of
Nanda and Yasoda.
2) Mother Yasoda calls to Krsna, "My
dear Damodara, it is very late. Please come right now,
sit down in the dining hall, and take Your lunch."
3) On the direction of Nanda Maharaja, Krsna, the holder
of Govardhana Hill, sits down, and then all the
cowherd boys, along with Krsna's elder brother, Sri Baladeva, sit down in rows to take their lunch.
4) They are then served a
feast of sukta and various kinds of green leafy
vegetables, then nice fried things, and a salad made of the green leaves of the
jute plant. They are also served pumpkin, baskets of fruit, small square cakes
made of lentils and cooked down milk, then thick yogurt, squash cooked in milk,
and vegetable preparations made from the tower of the banana tree.
5) Then they receive fried
squares of mung dahl
patties, and urad dahl
patties, capatis, and rice with ghee. Next, sweets made
with milk, sugar and sesamum, rice flour cakes; thick
cooked-down milk; cakes floating in milk; and sweet rice.
6) There is also sweet rice
that tastes just like nectar due to its being mixed with camphor. There are
bananas, and cheese which is nectarean and delicious.
They are also served twelve kinds of sour preparations made with tamarinds,
limes, lemons, oranges, and pomegranates.
7) There are puns made with
white flour and sugar; puns filled with cream; laddus;
and dahl patties boiled in sugared rice. Krsna eagerly eats all of the food.
8) In great ecstasy and joy
Krsna eats the rice, curried vegetables, sweets, and
pastries cooked by Srimati Radharani.
9) Krsna's
funny brahmana friend Madhumangala,
who is very fond of Laddus, gets them by hook or by
crook. Eating the laddus he shouts, "Haribol! Haribol!~' and makes a
funny sound by swapping his sides under his armpits with his hands.
10) Beholding Radharani and Her gopifriends out
of the courters of His eyes, Krsna
eats at the house of mother Yasoda with great
satisfaction.
11) After lunch, Krsna drinks rose-scented water. Then all of the boys,
standing in lines, wash their mouths.
12) After all the cowherd
boys wash their hands and mouths, in great bliss they take rest with Lord Balarama.
13) The two cowherd boys Jambula and Rasala then bring Krsna pan made with betel nuts, fancy spices, and catechu.
After eating that pin, Sri Krsnacandra then happily
goes to sleep.
14) While Krsna happily takes His rest on an excellent bedstead, His
servant Visalaksa cools Him with a fan of peacock
feathers.
15) At mother Yasoda's request the gopi Dhanistha brings remnants of food left on Krsna's plate to Srimati Radharani, who eats them with great delight
16) Lalita-devi
and the other gopis then receive the remnants, and
within their hearts they sing the glories of Radharani
and Krsna with great joy.
17) Thakura
Bhaktivinoda, whose one and only Joy is the pastimes
of Lord Hari, sings this Bhoga-arati
song
Remarks/ Extra Information:

is the Bhoga Arotik which
