Shri Raas Granth : Prakaran 5 : Verse 4 – 13

श्री रास ग्रन्थ : प्रकरण ५ : चौपाई ४ – १३

सरद निसा रे पूनम तणी, आव्यो ते आसो रे मास ।
सकल कलानो चंद्रमा, एणी रजनीए कीधो रे रास ॥४॥

Sarad nisa re poonam tani, aavyo te aaso re maas |
Sakal kalaano chandrama, eni kidho re raas ||4||

The month of Ashwin has come. On the night of Sharad Poornima the moon with its entire art is spreading the light. On such a beautiful night Shri Krishna and the gopis had played Raas.

रास तणी रे लीला कहुं, जे भरियां आपणे पाय ।
निमख ना कीधी रे निसरतां, ततखिण तेणे रे ताय ॥५॥

Sarad tani re leela kahu, je bhariyaa aapan-ne pay |
Nimakh na kidhi re nisarta, tatkhin tene re taay ||5||

I am now describing the eternal Raas. For the entry (in Vrindavan) we Brahmasrishtis had taken the form of Gopikas and stepped into it. We had not delayed even for a single second to depart from the Vraj mandal. We had immediately left for the Raas leela on listening to the flute.

संझाने समे रे वेण वाइयो, कांई वृन्दावन मोझार ।
एणे समे सनु ऊभुं, तेहने आडो न आव्यो रे संसार ॥६॥

Sanjhaane same re ven vaaiyo, kain Vrundavan mojhaar |
Ene same sanu ubhu, tehne aado na aavyo re sansaar ||6||

At the end of the day (at the time of sunset) Shri Krishna had played the flute from Vrindavan. At that time we all gopis had left everything as it is. While going to Vrindavan the bondages of the world did not become hurdles for us.

नहीं तो कुलाहल एवडो हुतो, चितडां वेध्यां रे प्रमाण ।
साथ सहुए रे वेण साभ्लयो, बीजो श्रवण तणो गुण जाण ॥७॥

Nahi to kulaahal evdo huto, chitda vedhya re pramaan |
Sath sahue re ven saambhalyo, bijo shravan tano gun jaan ||7||

Otherwise daily in evening in Vraj it used to be the time for the return of the cows, the calves and the gwalas, hence the place was always filled with chaos and it was very difficult to hear anything. But our consciousness was always situated in Shri Krishna, so we could only listen to the music of flute and our minds had became very restless while others could only take the pleasure of hearing it.

कोई सखी रे हुती गाय दोहती, दूध घोणियो रे हाथ मांहे ।
एणे समे वेण थई वल्लभनी, पडी गयो घोणियो रे तेणे ताए ॥८॥

Koi sakhi re huti gaay dohti, dudh ghoniyo re haath maahe |
Ene same ven thai Vallabhhni, padi gayo ghoniyo re tene taay ||8||

One of the sakhi was milking the cow, and she had a vessel for milking in her hand. At that time she heard the flute of Shri Krishna, and the vessel fell from her hands instantaneously.

कोई सखी रे काम करे घर मधे, आडो ऊभो ससरो पत जेह ।
वेण सुणी रे पाटु दई निसरी, एणी द्रष्टमां सरूप सनेह ॥९॥

Koi sakhi re kaam kare ghar madhe, aado ubho sasro pat jeh |
Ven suni re paatu dai nisri, eni drashtma saroop saneh ||9||

One of the sakhi was busy in her household chore, her husband and her father in law were standing beside her. On listening to the flute she lost her memory and she neglected them because she and others (all the sakhis / brahmasrishtis) had the lovely image of Shri Krishna only in their sight.

कोई सखी रे वात करे पतसुं, ऊभी धवरावे रे बाल ।
एणे समे वेण थई वल्लभनी, पडी गयो बाल तेणे ताल ॥१०॥

Koi sakhi re vaat kare patsu, ubhi dhavraave re baal |
Ene same ven thai Vallabhhni, padi gayo baal tene taal ||10||

One of the sakhi was talking to her husband and she was breastfeeding her child while standing. Suddenly on hearing the music of flute of her Beloved Dhani she left her child there and went.

कोई सखी रे हुती प्रीसणे, हाथ थाली प्रीसे छे धान ।
एणे समे वेण थई वल्लभनी, पडी गई थाली ते तान ॥११॥

Koi sakhi re huti prisne, hath thali prise che dhaan |
Ene same ven thai Vallabhhni, padi gai thaali te taan ||11||

One of the sakhi was serving food. She had the plate filled with cooked food from which she was serving. At that very time on listening to the music of the flute she got emotionally charged and the plate slipped from her hand.

कोई सखी रे एणे समे निसरतां, एक पग भांडां रे मांहे ।
बीजो पग पतना रुदे पर, एणी द्रष्टे न आव्युं रे कोई क्यांहे ॥१२॥

Koi sakhi re ene same nisartaa, ek pag bhaanda re mahe |
Bijo pag patna roode par, eni drashte na aavyu re koi kyanhe ||12||

While leaving from home one of the sakhi’s legs was in the food plate and one touched the chest of her husband. Because on listening to the music of flute the world meant nothing in her eyes i.e. she had no affection.

कोई सखी रे वेगे वछूटता, पडियो हडफटे ससरो त्यांहे ।
आकार वहेरे घणवे उतावला, चित जई बेठुं वालाजी मांहे ॥१३॥

Koi sakhi re vege vachoot-ta, padiyo hadfate sasro tyanhe |
Aakar vahere ghanve utavlaa, chit jai bethu Valaji mahe ||13||

One sakhi while leaving hurriedly collided with her father-in-law and he fell. The body of that sakhi wanted to reach Vrindavan as soon as possible because the mind was situated in Shri Krishna.
