jaya radha-madhava kunja-bihari
gopi-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhari
yashoda-nandana braja-jana-ranjana
jamuna-tira-vana-chari
translation:
Krishna is the lover of Radha
He displays many amorous pastimes
in the groves of Vrindavana
in the groves of Vrindavana
He is the lover of the cowherd maidens of Vraja
the holder of the great hill named Govardhana
the beloved son of Mother Yashoda
the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja
the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja
and He wanders in the forests
along the banks of the River Yamuna
Srila Prabhupada said that this song is "a picture of Vrindavana. Everything is there--Shrimati Radharani, Vrindavana, Govardhana, Yashoda, and all the cowherd boys."
Srila Prabhupada was very fond of this song and sang it just before his lectures. In Allahabad and Gorakhpur, Srila Prabhupada fell into a trance after singing the first two lines, and after some time he came back into external consciousness and said: "Now just chant Hare Krishna."
