(Refrain) O gopi-friend, Krishna is a snake slithering about the land of Vraja. The Krishna-snake coils itself around the sandal-tree of my heart and makes the bird of dharma fly away. (1) He stays in a forest-cottage. The splendor of His body is the like darkness of black kajjala. From the sound of His flute a sweet poison arises. His clever ways are very crooked. (2) When Krishna glances at her from the corner of His eye, no graceful girl has the power to remain steady and peaceful. With His reddish pursed lips, Krishna sips away the saintlygopis' pious vows, vows carried to Him by the fluttering breeze. (3) Krishna's wonderful poison-glance bites the gopis. The nectar poison of that glance now flows within them. In this way Govinda dasa praises Lord Krishna.
