Vrindabana ramya-sthana divya-cintamani-dhama
ratana-mandira manohara
avrta kalindi-nire raja-hamsa keli kore
tahe sobhe kanaka-kamala
tara madhye hema-pitha asta-dale vestita
asta-dale pradhana nayika
tara madhye ratnasane bosi’ achen dui-jane
syama-sange sundari Radhika

narottama-dasa koy nitya-lila sukha-moy
sadai sphuruka mora mane
1) Beautiful Vrndavana is filled with cintamani gems and many jewelled palaces and temples. Many regal swans play in the waters of the Yamuna, and in those waters a splendid golden lotus flower grows.
2) In the middle of that lotus is a golden place surrounded by eight petals. On these eight petals the eight principal gopis reside, and in the center Lord Syamasundara and beautiful Srimati Radharani sit on a jewelled throne.
3) The great beauty of the Divine Couple, and Their charming joking and laughter appears to be constantly showering nectar everywhere. Narottama dasa says: I pray that these blissful eternal transcendental pastimes of the Divine Couple may be always manifest in my heart.
