tri-bhuvana-kamanaṁ tamāla-varṇaṁ
ravi-kara-gaura-varāmbaraṁ dadhāne
vapur alaka-kulāvṛtānanābjaṁ
vijaya-sakhe ratir astu me 'navadyā
“What is the nature of your thoughts?”
Let me have pure prema (ratih) without desire for results, for the friend of Arjuna (vijaya-sakhe), who accepts a body which is desired by all persons in the upper, middle and lower planets, which is clothed in garments golden in the sun’s rays. I saw that intense yellow from his upper and lower cloth sparkling in the sun’s rays as he stood on the chariot of Arjuna. My thoughts take the form of a prayer to have this prema for the most beautiful Krsna as the charioteer of Arjuna. In the prayers of following verses also there is no use of the second person, though Krsna was present before him This indicates his attraction for the sweetness of the Lord absorbed in vira-rasa during the battle, and his absorption in relishing it.
