Meaning:
Friends! How delightful the river Yamuna's charm and beauty are! Red lotus flowers over which lovely bees hum, white sand dunes. Yamuna Devi's body is dark like precious blue gems, the steps looking like gem-studded statues, and waves curling underneath and the sweet music of swans. All these contribute to the fascination of goddess Yamuna of the river. Damsels! The gardens on the banks sport daes dripping with honey, vines with swaying bunches of grapes, on which gambol pairs of green parrots courting. Diverse kinds of flowers fall from trees and creepers, like a gentle drizzle. What a fascinating scene. How pleasing to watch. Cuckoos are pouring out their dulcet tunes. The stage is ideal for Cupid to send his flowery darts. The southern wind is blowing cool and refreshing. Damsels with lovely faces! We are sure of communing with Krishna. Listen to the sweet music of this youth, friend of Tyagaraja.
