TRANSLATION
1-6)
The cottage in the grove on the banks of Radha-kunda,
the great Govardhana Hill, the banks of the Yamuna, Kusuma-sarovara, Manasa-ganga, the daughter of Kalinda
(the Yamuna) with her many waves, the Vamsi-vat, Gokula, Dhira-samira, the trees and creepers and reeds of Vrdavana, the different varieties of colorful birds, the
deer, the cooling breeze from the Malaya Mountains, the peacocks, the
bumblebees, the pastimes with the flute, the flute itself, the buffalo horn
bugle, the footprints of cows in the dust of Vraja,
the rows of blackish rain clouds, springtime, the moon, the conchsell,
and the karatalas – all these I know to be very
conductive for the pastimes of Radha and Krsna. I
recognize in them a transcendental stimulus for making the Lord’s charming
pastimes more intense.
7)
I refuse to go anywhere if there stimuli to devotional service are not there,
for to abandon them is to abandon life itself.
8)
Bhaktivinoda says, “Please hear me, O Kana! Your
entourage and paraphernalia stimulate remembrance of You
and are the very source of my life.”
