Shri Raas Granth : Prakaran 7 : Verse 2 – 11
श्री रास ग्रन्थ : प्रकरण ७ : चौपाई २ – ११
सोभा सागर साथ तणी, सखी केणी पेरे ए वरणवाय ।
हुं रे अबूझ कांई घणुं नव लहुं, एनुं निरमाण केम करी थाय ॥२॥
Sobha sagar sath tani, sakhi keni pere ae varanavay |
Hu re abujh kain ghanu lahu, aenu nirmaan kem kari thaay ||2||
The glorious adornment of all the gopis in Yogmaya is similar to an ocean. How can it be described? I am ignorant and when I cannot take this in my heart, then how can it be represented?
कोटान कोट जाणे सूरज उदया, ब्रह्मांड न माय झलकार ।
प्रघल पूर जाणे सायर उलट्यो, एक रस थई सरवे नार ॥३॥
Kotan kot jaane suraj udaya, brahmand na maay jhalkaar |
Praghal poor saayar ulatyo, ek ras thai sarve naar ||3||
On seeing the divine adornment of the sakhis it seems as if crores of suns have risen and their light is spreading out of the universe of Yogmaya. It appears as if a brilliant ocean is emerging and in that divine light all sakhis have blended together.
एक नखतणी जो जोत तमे जुओ, तेमां कै ने सूरज ढंपाय ।
केम करी सोभा वरणवुं रे सखियो, मारो सबद न पहोंचे त्यांय ॥४॥
Ek nakhtani jo jot tame juo, tema kai na sooran dhapay |
Kem kari sobha varanavu re sakhiyo, maro sabad na pohonche tyay ||4||
Observe the brilliance of one of their nail. In front of that glow infinite suns also appear pale. How can I describe this grace? Because in that ineffable land none of my words reach. (it is beyond words)
वली गुण जो जो तमे नखतणां, हुं तेहनो ते कहुं विचार ।
सूरज द्रष्टे ताप ज थाय, आणे अंग उपजे करार ॥५॥
Vali gun jo jo tame nakhtana, hu tehno te kahu vichar |
Sooraj drashte taap j thaay, ane ang upje karaar ||5||
Now observe the light of beautiful nails of Shri Shyamaji. I am describing the speciality of the nails. The light of sun provdies heat, but the light of Shri Shyamaji’s nails provide tranquility.
साथतणी रे साडियुं ज्यारे जोइए, तेमां रंग दीसे अपार ।
अनेक विधनां जवेर ज दीसे, करे ते अति झलकार ॥६॥
Sathtani re saadiyu jyare joiye, tema rang dise apaar |
Anek vidhna javer j dise, kare te ati jhalkaar ||6||
When we look at the sarees of all the sakhis then various colours can be seen. Only different kinds of jewels are visible in their sarees which are dazzling.
तेवा सरूप ने तेवा भूषण, तेज तणां अंबार ।
ए अजवालुं ज्यारे जीव जुए, त्यारे सुं करे संसार ॥७॥
Teva saroop ne teva bhushan, tej tana ambaar |
Ae ajwalu jyare jiv jue, tyare su kare sansaar ||7||
As the divine adornment, the ornaments are also divine. Everywhere there is repository of light. When the soul sees this kind of divine light, then how can the trivial attraction of the world enchant him/her?
मांहों मांहें वालाजीनी वातो, बीजो चितमां नथी उचार ।
ततखिण वेण सांभलतां वल्लभ, खिण नव लागी वार ॥८॥
Maahe maahe Valajini vato, bijo chitma nathi uchaar |
Tatkhin ven sambhalta Vallabh, khin nav laagi vaar ||8||
The sakhis are collectively talking only about their beloved Dhani. There are no other thoughts in their mind. On listening to the sound of the flute of their beloved Shyam Sundar they did not delay even for a moment to sacrifice the world.
मन उमंग वालाजीसुं रमवा, आयत अति घणी थाय ।
आनन्द मांहें अति उजाय, धरणी न लागे पाय ॥९॥
Mann umang Valajisu ramva, aayat ati ghani thaay |
Aanand maahe ati ujaay, dharni na laage paay ||9||
When the sakhis were going from Braj to Raas they had a burning desire to play Raas with their beloved husband. The eagerness to experience joy made them run fast. It seems as if their feet were not touching the ground.
भूषण स्वर सोहामणां, मुख वाणी ते बोले रसाल ।
ए स्वरने ज्यारे श्रवणा दीजे, त्यारे आडो न आवे पंपाल ॥१०॥
Bhushan svar sohamna, mukh vani te bole rasaal |
Ae svarne jyare shravna dije, tyare aado na aave pampaal ||10||
The sound which is emerging from the adorned ornaments of sakhis is very melodious. Even their speech is sweet. If we listen to both these sounds then this world cannot create hurdles i.e. we cannot be trapped in this illusionary world.
साथ सकल मारा वाला पासे आव्यो, मन आणी उलास ।
विविध पेरे वालाजीसुं रमवा, चितमां नथी मायानो पास ॥११॥
Sath sakal mara vala paase aavyo, mann aani ulaas |
Vividh pere Valajisu ramva, chitma nathi mayano paas ||11||
In this way the sakhis well groomed, completely adorned go and meet Shri Krishna. They were eager that they will play in various ways with their beloved husband. There was no trace of illusion in their minds.
