~ Crookedness that Confuses ~
(Two Freshly Composed Verses)
हस्तं सा ददती तवानृजुकचे त्वत्सौख्यमेवेच्छति ।
दृष्ट्वा तां प्रति नैरपेक्ष्यमिह ते जाने न दामोदर
कौटिल्यं खलु कुत्र तेऽस्ति परमं देहे कचे वा हृदि ॥ शार्दूलविक्रीडितम् ॥
(Meter: śārdūla-vikrīḍitam - sing like ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭakam):
śrī-rādhā saralā tri-bhaṅga-vapuṣā sākaṁ tvayā saṁsthitā
hastaṁ sā dadatī tavānṛjukace tvat-saukhyam evecchati
dṛṣṭvā tāṁ prati nairapekṣyam iha te jāne na dāmodara!
kauṭilyaṁ khalu kutra te'sti paramaṁ dehe kace vā hṛdi
Translation: Śrī Rādhā is standing in a straightforward manner with you — whose body is curved in three places. As she runs her hand through your curly hair, she only desires your happiness. O Dāmodara! Seeing your neglectful behavior towards her, I am unable to decide where exactly the highest degree of crookedness lies within you. Does it lie within your body, your hair or your heart?
हृदये यस्य कौटिल्यं हरे! तिष्ठति सर्वदा ।
देहकेशादि सर्वं वै तस्यात्र कुटिलायते ॥ अनुष्टुप् ॥
(Meter : anuṣṭup):
hṛdaye yasya kauṭilyaṁ
hare! tiṣṭhati sarvadā
deha-keśādi sarvaṁ vai
tasyātra kuṭilāyate
Translation: [Now I understood]! O Hari! When crookedness resides constantly in a person's heart, everything related to him — his body, hair etc. automatically start attaining crookedness.
