Show Details		[Gopis, among themselves]
It is a nice day for us to frolic in water, as Krishna watches.
2.
kamala nEtruni bAsi sukhamA ODa
gaTTu jErpa mana taramA
Show Details		Is it comforting to be separated from the Lotus-eyed one?
Is it in our capacity to get the boat to the shore?
3.

Show Details		He is a prince;
He has worn ornaments studded with precious stones.
4.

Show Details		It seems he is not a small child;
We don’t know whether He would be afraid.
5.

Show Details		People will back-bite about us with His mother;
people will slander us to make us bow our heads in shame.
6.
mATaku cOTaunu3 kAni
mana ATalu teliyaka pOni
Show Details		It will give room for ridicule;
yet may our play not be known to the world.
7.

[Krishna to the girls] O damsels!
As you keep pondering among yourselves, time is passing away.
8.

Show Details		Enough of it! Come here
and push the boat into the water.
9.

Show Details		[Gopis, to themselves] He is a friend of Thyagaraja;
[So] he doesn’t listen to the words of damsels.
