Acarya's Writing

Padyavali, Anthology of Devotional Poetry
Srila Rupa Gosvami

Sayam harer vrajagamanam
Lord Hari Returns to Vraja Village in the Evening

Verse 257

May Lord Keshava who,
sweetly playing the flute,
a peacock feather in His hair,
blackened with dust, decorated
with a wilted forest-flower garland,
tired, handsome, and a festival of
happiness for the gopis’ eyes, returns
with the surabhi cows at the day’s end,
grant auspiciousness to you all.
