Ramani Siromani
Bhaktivinoda Thakura
ramaṇī-śiromaṇi, bṛṣabhānu-nandinī, nīla-vasana-paridhāna chinna-puraṭa jini’, varna-vikāśinī, baddha-kabarī hari-prāna
The beloved daughter of King Vrsabhanu is the crest-jewel of all young women. She is fond of wearing blue garments. Her radiant complexion is very pleasing and conquers the beauty of freshly cut gold, Her locks of hair are nicely arranged, and She is the life and soul of Lord Krsna.
ābharaṇa-maṇḍita, hari-rasa-paṇḍita, tilaka-śusobhita-bhālā kañculikācchāditā, stana-maṇi-maṇḍitā, kajjala-nayanī rasālā
She is artfully adorned with jewels, She is very learned in the science of Hari-rasa, and Her forehead is nicely decorated with tilaka. Her breasts are covered with a beautiful corset and adorned with valuable gems, and Her eyes are anointed with black collyrium. Thus She appears to be relishable sweetness personified.
sakala tyajiyā se rādhā-caraṇe dāsī ho’ye bhaja parama-jatane
Giving up everything and becoming a maidservant at the lotus feet of Radha, just worship and serve Her with great care and attention.
saundarya-kirana dekhiyā jāńhār rati-gaurī-līlā garva-parihār
Beholding Her effulgent rays of pure beauty, the goddesses Rati, Gauri, and Lila abandon all their pride.
śacī-lakṣmī-satya saubhāgya bolane parājita hoy jāńhāra caraṇe
The good fortune attributed to the goddesses Saci, Laksmi, and Satya is completely defeated in the presence of Radha's feet.
kṛṣṇa-vaśīkāre candrāvalī-ādi parājay māne hoiyā vivādī
The group of rival gopis led by Candravali is forced to accept their defeat before Srimati Radharani, for She alone controls Krsna. Thus they always sulk and simply remain quarrelsome.
hari-dayita rādhā-caraṇa prayāsī bhakativinoda śrī-godruma-bāsī
Bhaktivinoda, a resident of Sri Godruma, always endeavors for the lotus feet of Radha, the most beloved of Lord Hari.
