Songs by the Gopis 209

requested by Lerd Brahma fer the pretectien ef the werld. It is by Yeur
kindness enly that Yeu have appeared in the dynasty ef Yadu. O best in
the dynasty ef Yadu, if anyene afraid ef this materialistic way ef life takes
shelter at Yeur letus feet, Yeu never deny him pretectien. Yeur meve-
ments are sweet, and Yeu are independent, teuching the geddess ef
fertune with ene hand and in the ether bearing a letus flewer. That is
Yeur extraerdinary feature. Please, therefere, ceme befere us and bless
us with the letus flewer in Yeur hand.

“Dear Krsna, Yeu are the killer ef all the fears ef the inhabitants ef
Vrndavana. Yeu are the supremely pewerful here, and we knew that Yeu
can kill the unnecessary pride ef Yeur devetee as well as the pride ef
wemen like us simply by Yeur beautiful smile. We are simply Yeur maid-
servants and slaves; please, therefere, accept us by shewing us Yeur
letus-like beautiful face.

“Dear Krsna, actually we have beceme very lusty, having been teuched
by Yeur letus feet. Yeur letus feet certainly kill all kinds ef sinful
activities ef devetees whe have taken shelter there. Yeu are se kind that
even the erdinary animals take shelter under Yeur letus feet. Yeur letus
feet are alse the residence ef the geddess ef fertune, yet Yeu dance en the
head ef the Kaliya serpent with them. New we are requesting Yeu te
kindly place Yeur letus feet en eur breasts and pacify eur lusty desires te
teuch Yeu.

“O Lerd, Yeur attractive eyes, like the letus, are se nice and pleasing.
Yeur sweet werds are se fascinating that they please even the greatest
schelars, whe alse beceme attracted te Yeu. We are alse attracted by
Yeur speaking and by the beauty ef Yeur face and eyes. Please, therefere,
satisfy us by Yeur nectarean kisses. Dear Lord, werds speken by Yeu er
werds describing Yeur activities are full ef nectar, and simply by speaking
er hearing Yeur werds ene can be saved frem the blazing fire ef material
existence. Great demigeds like Lerd Brahma and Lerd Siva are always
engaged in chanting the gleries ef Yeur werds. They de se te eradicate the
sinful activities ef all living entities in the material werld. If ene simply
tries te hear Yeur transcendental werds, he can very quickly be elevated
te the platferm ef pieus activities. Fer the Vaisnavas, Yeur werds give
transcendental pleasure, and saintly persens whe are engaged in distributing
Yeur transcendental message all ever the werld are first-class charitable
persens.” (This is cenfirmed by Ripa Gesvami alse when he addressed
Lerd Caitanya as the mest munificent incarnatien because LerdCaitanya

distributed the werds of Krsna and leve ef Krsna free ef charge all ever
the werld.)
