Today's Beautiful Gem: Krshna's Love One 'paada' of an 'ashtapadi'
from Jayadeva's Geetagovinda. (Freely translated by me)

"tvamasi mama bhooshanam, tvamasi mama jeevanam,
tvamasi mama bhavajaladhiratnam |
bhavatu bhavateehamayi satatamanurodhineem
tatra mama hrdayamatiyatnam ||

"Thou art my jewel, thou art my life,
Thou art the pearl in the ocean of my life;
Please follow me forever
As my heart aches for thee.

"priye charuseele, priye charuseele,
munchamayi maanamanidaanam |
sapadi madanaanalo dahati mama maanasam
dehi mukhakamalamadhupaanam ||

"O my Love, O my beautiful Love,
Forsake thy silly anger;
Please give me the honey of thy lips
As my heart is being consumed by the Fire of love."

Om Santih! Peace! - J. K. Mohana Rao
