26. vathsapaalacharaH kopi vathsaH

       sreevathsalaanChanaH

       uthsavaaya kadhaa bhaaveeth

       ithi uthsuke mama lochane

My two eyes,mama lochane, are exuberantly looking forward, uthsuke,  to the time when, the wonderful child., kopi vathsaH, marked, laanChithah, with srivathsa  and moves with the young boys who  tend the calves, VathsapaalacharaH, will appear to me, kadhaa bhaaveeth, for enjoyment uthsavaaya..

 

Vathsapaala is the one who tends the calves while gopala is the one who tends the cows. The word shows Krishna to be of tender age in which the boys  are sent out to tend the calves only. The word vathsa is repeated three times with different meanings.

 

27. maDhrimabharithe manobhiraame

      mrdhulathara smitha mudhritha aananendhou

      thribhuvana nayanaikalobhaneeye

      mahasi vayam vrajabhaaji laalasaaH smaH

 

 

We are enraptured, laalasaH smaH, in that light, mahasi, that is Krishna, who is sweetness allover, maDhurimabharithe, attracts the mind, manobhiraame, with soft smile, mrdhulatharasmitha, expressing the joy in his moon-like face, mudhritha aanandhendhou, and who abides in the land of  cowherds, vrajabhaaji, and who is desired by the eyes of the people of all the  three worlds, thribhuvannayanaika lobhaneeye.

 

28.mukhaaravindhe makarandhabindhu

     nishyandhaleelaa muraleeninaadhe

     vrjaanganaapaanga tharanga bhrnga

     sankraamabhoomou thava laalasaaH smaH

 

We have desire, laalasaH smaH, for your lotus-face, mukhaaravindhe,  which lets out the stream of honey, makarandhabindhu nishyandhaleelaa,  in the form of the music of the flute, muraleeninaadhe, and the battlefield of the bees, bhrnga sankraamabhoomou, which advance in waves of the glances of the gopis, vrjaanganaapaanga tharanga.

 

The face of Krishna is like the lotus, rather a group of lotuses, with his eyes, mouth and face and the hands that hold the flute near his face , all resembling lotuses. The honey from the lotus  flows, , in the form of music from his flute,. The glances of the gopis are like bees, that approach the face of Krishna in waves, and seem to overtake each other which is compared to a battlefield, , by Leelasuka.

 

29.aathaamra aayatha lochanaamSulaharee

      leelaasuDha apyaayithaiH

   geethaamreditha dhivyakelibharithaiH

   spheetham vrajasthreejanaiH

   svedhaambhaH kaNabhooshithena

   kimapi smereNa vakthrendhunaa

   paadhaambhoja mrdhuprachaara subhagam

   paSyaami dhrSyam mahaH

 

I see, paSyaami, a vision of light, dhrsyam mahaH, that is Krishna, who is moving with soft and beautiful feet like lotuses, paadhaamboja mrdhuprachara subhagam,  and whose moon-like face, vakthrendhunaa,  adorned with drops of sweat, svedhaambhahkaNabhooshithena, is wonderful with smile, kimapi smereNa which has grown, spheetham, by the gopis,  vrajasthreejanaiH, who are  filled with the increased playing of the nectarine music, geethaamreditha dhivaykelibharithaiH, from the flute and who are immersed, aapyaayithaiH, in the flood of rays, amSulaharee, from the long and slightly red  eyes, aathaamraayatha lochana, of Krishna.

 

Krishna is playing the flute and his lotus-like feet are moving with soft touch.  The smile on his face  grows on seeing the gopis who are in ecstasy by the music and the glances from his eyes slightly red and long playfully create a flood of rays in which  the gopis are immersed. His lotus-like face is decorated with drops of sweat that look like pearls.

 

 

 

 

30. paaNou venuH prakrthisukumaara

      aakrthou baalyalakshmeeH

      paarSve baalaaH praNayasarasa

      aalokitha apaanga leelaaH

      moulou barham maDhura vadhana

      ambhoruhe mougDhyamudhra ithi

      aardhraakaaram kimapi kithavam

      jyothiH anveshayaamaH

 

We search for some wonderful  light, kimapi jyothiH, that is Krishna, the charmer, kithavaH, who has the flute in his hand, paaNou veNuH, the youthful bloom visible in the beautiful body, prakrthisukumaara aakrthou baalyalakshmeeH, by whose side there are love-stricken young girls, paarSve baalaaH, with longing glances, praNayasarasa aalokitha apaanga leelaaH, whose head is adorned with peacock feather, moulou barham, in whose sweet face there is the sign of innocent charm, maDhura vadhana ambhoruhe mougDhyamudhra,  thus pleasantly cool, aadhraakaaram, and charming.

 

In this sloka  Leelasuka paints a beautiful portrait of Krishna. He is a mischievous enchanter with flute in his hand and peacock feather on his head and his lotus-like face looks deceptively innocent and sweet, the youthful bloom shining all over his naturally graceful body. He is surrounded by the young gopis who send their  loving glances towards him. The picture is one of cool charm.

 

 

 

 

31. aarooDa veNu tharuNaaDharavibhrameNa

     maaDhuryaSaali vadhanaambujam udhvahanthee

     aalokyathaam kim anayaa vanadhevathaa vaH

     kaiSorake vayasi kaapi cha kaanthiyashtiH

 

Oh forest deities! vanaheavthaaH, What do you get from this forest, kim anayaa? See this climbing creeper shining, kaanthiyashtiH, in its childhood , kaiSorake vayasi,  having a sweet looking face like a lotus, maaDhuryaSaali vadhanaambujam udhvahanthee, with the flute on his beautiful lips, aarooDaveNu tharuNaaDhara vibhrameNa.

.

 

Here in this sloka Leelasuka portrays Krishna as a creeper winding on a pole. He asks the forest deities to abandon their attachment to the trees and plants of the forest and look at Krishna who is looking like a beautiful creeper on a pole with his sprout-like lips holding the flute and his face like a lotus and his form like a blossoming creeper with his youthful beauty.
