Translation 1)
The
lotus feet of S'ri Rûpa Manjari are my
treasure, my devotional service, and my
object of worship. They give my life meaning,
and they are the life of my
life. 2)
They
are the perfection of rasa, and they are
perfection worthy of attainment. They are the
very law of the Vedlc scriptures for me. They
are the meaning of all my fasts and penances
and my silent utterings of my mantras. They
are the basis of religion and
activities. 3) By
the purifying process of favorable devotional
service one will attain perfection and with
these two eyes be able to see. His
transcendental form is shining like moonlight
in my heart, and my heart therefore shines
and reciprocates. In other words, the
ordinary moon lights up the night, and its
shine illuminates other objects; but the moon
of the effulgence of the form of S'ri
Rûpa Manjari shines into the heart and
makes the heart also shine back to the
spiritual sky. This moon shines not only in
the nighttime, but day and
night. 4)
Your
absence from my vision is like a dose of
strong poison, and I will suffer till the end
of my life. Narottama dâsa
Thhâkura says: "Please give me your
mercy and the shade of your lotus
feet." Who
is Rûpa Mañjari: In
the northern part of Sri Lalita Sakhi's kunja
lies Rupollasa Kunja, where the very
beautiful and graceful Sri Rupa Manjari
resides. She is the foremost among the gopis
known as priya-narma-sakhis. Her complexion
is the color of gorocana (a bright yellow
pigment secreted from a cow's kidney), and
she delights in wearing a dress the color of
peacock feathers. Her age is 13 years 6
months. The panditas call her Rangana-malika.
In age, she is one day younger than Lavanga
Manjari. In gaura-lila she appears as Srila
Rupa Gosvami. I
