Messages from Rohini and Paurnamasi
"O sakhil Rohini, the mother of Baladeva, as well as other
affectionate women in the city, friends such as Gunamala, and other women,
shedding tears and embracing me, have sent many messages for You. Please hear
every¬thing, including the words of Paurnamasi, who is extremely anxious to see
You. "Paurnamasi said, 'O Nandi, I cannot move far along the road because
of my vratas. You will please me if you go quickly to Radha, give Her my
blessings, comfort Her, and return here with the latest news. With the help of
Yogamaya, I have protected Her from the association of Her false husband Abhimanyu. For this reason, Radrfa has always
been able to stay away from him. The sakhis are in a state of constant alarm
because of Radha's listless nature. The state of the sakhis on seeing Radha's
bewilderment in love is like the anxiety we would feel were the ocean to
submerge our houses, the protec¬tors of our life.
'Nandi! Please offer this auspicious arghya over the attractive
head of Radha. Then announce my message: "The two persons Radha and
Madhava surpass the whole earth in superexcellent qualities. You two have
attracted all my deer-like senses from afar and bound them in the forest of
Vrindavana. When I drink the nectar of the sweet syllables "Radha
Madhava," O daughter, what should I say? When I attentively hear about the
devatas longing for amrtu, icpulsion rises in my heai 1.1 develop disgust for
studying the exalted Vedas, which promise immortality. As the sky splendidly
celebrates the purnima tithi with a full display of light rays, Gokula shines
with Radha and Madhava. The vast expanse of Gokula has become the perfect place
to fulfil the desires of Paurnamasi. Madhava is the full moon and You are the
splendid autumn light. "O Radhika! There are so many desirous women in
Gokula qualified for Krishna's association, but You alone can perfectly satisfy
Madhava's desires. Sumukhi Radha! If I can bring about the union of the red
lotus heroine and the sun Qiari), then all the phases of time will receive Your
blessings. If this happens the unsatisfied bees will besiege You. Inner
meaning: (Your elders, like frustrated envious scorpions will obstruct Your
meeting with Madhava.) "O root of auspiciousness! By Your devotion You have
brought the devatas as well as us under Your control. By appearing in Vraja,
You have made Your own family successful along with the other Vrajavasis. With
Your friendship, sterling qualities, embraces, and kisses You have nourished
all of Madhava's limbs along with Lalita and others.
"O Radha (also the name of a star constellation) Your bodily
effulgence shines brightly in the nights of Vaisakha month to increase
everyone's bliss. Surrounded by countless constellations of sakhis, You rise
each night along with the moon, and compliment the full moon with Your luster.
Inner mean¬ing: (O Radha! Will You support old Paurnamasi by rising along with
the moon of Gokula who destroys all inauspiciousness. Revealing the brilliant
luster of Your body in the company of Your sakhis, You will increase the bliss
of Syamasundara.'"
