TRANSLATION

1) I will die, I will die, O sakhi, I will surely die. How will I attain an ocean of attributes like Krsna?

 

2) All you sakhis, that are staying with Me, please write Krsna's name on My body as I die.

 

3) Lalita, My hearts friend! Utter the mantra in My ear, so that I hear Krsna's name when my body burns on the pyre.

 

4) Don't burn My body and don't throw it in a river. When I die, then keep it around the branch of a Tamala tree.

 

5) This Tamala tree has the complexion of Krsna. Let my unconscious body dwell on it.

 

6) If My beloved ever returns to Vrndavana I will get My life back by seeing Him.

 

7) If I never see His moonlike face back again I will give up My body in the fire of separation.

 

8) When Radha spoke thus She fainted and Visakha came running to take Her on her lap.

 

9) Her body trembled strongly and only a very thin breath came from Her mouth. The sakhis kept a cotton swab in front of Her nose to see if She was still breathing.

 

10) They uttered Krsna's name in Her ears and, regaining consciousness, She said: 'Where is Ghanasyama?'

 

11) When She sees a Tamala tree ahead of Her She stares at it and embraces it like mad.

 

12) Seeing such a condition of Radha, Govinda dasa simply stares with tear-filled eyes.
