(1)

āhā ki dekhi go baḍā-i kadambera tale

taḍita jaḍita yaiche naba jaladhare

(2)

śyāmacāndera upare dhabala cāndera kalā

tāhāra upare śobhe timirera mālā

tāhāra upare kibā indradhanu sāje

emana adbhuta rūpa kebā dekhiyāche

indradhanu jiniyā se bhurū dhanu-chaṭā

TRANSLATION

1) Aha! What did I see under a kadamba tree? It was like a new raincloud embraced by lightning.

2) It was like a glistening white full moon above a dark new moon. Above those two moons glistened a garland of darkness.

3) Above that garland was a rainbow. What was that wonderful form I saw?

4) The effulgent archer's bows of that form's eyebrows defeated the rainbow. That form enchanted Govinda dāsa's heart.
