Simple
Meaning:
Krishna's Cooling Smile
Glories
to your cooling smiles, overflowing from an unrestrained
ocean of nectar.This continuous blissful gush of rasa destroys the
pride of all other streams of blissful nectar. In other words may your heart-stealing smiles bestow infinite joy
on me.
The
Rasa-laden Commentary:
A Smile Surges on Krishna's Face
The
gushing flow from your bud like lips is unconstrained-it never stops,
because it is the natural source of the overflowing ocean of
nectar. Merely by looking at that faint smile all the sufferings of
one's heart are relieved and the mind becomes joyful. Thus your
smile causes extreme joy, is very sweet and is the zenith of
coolness.
Having
face to face darshan of adorable Shri Krishna, Shri
Billavmangalji says that His smile is miraculous in many ways. If the
lips are smiling at this end the cheek region also smiles, the eyes
above smile too, in other words Krishna's entire round face is
moistened with waves of smiles surging across his face.
Distributing
ecstatic bliss this gush of rasa is forever uninterrupted. The ocean
of bliss is cascading from every limb of Krishna's body. Loving
devotees relish His lotus feet and lotus petals like lips, in
particular.
Gopis Mesmerized by Krishna's Smile
What
a sweet, intoxicating smile is playing on the lips of this beautiful
dark-hued Krishna. Oh! the Braj maidens are enslaved by this smile.
Mesmerized they exult:
'Mai
ree! va mukh ki muskan samhari na jaihai na jaihai.
'
Shri Billavmangalji is Smitten by Krishna's Smile
Dyed
in this fragrant gentle smile,Shri Billavmangalji is smitten and says: 'madhugandhi
mridusmit maitdaho madhur madhur.'
'Oh
this fragrant tender smile on this blue-hued sweet face. Is
sweet-sweet...'
jayanti shitani tava smitan i: One doesn't know when Shri Billavmangal regains consciousness and utters these words which mean," All glories to Your cooling smiles."
The Swirling Ocean
Ah!
where have I got lost! in which rasa...yes~I remember now-it was the
powerful gush of some unrestrained gush. One has no inkling as to how
many eddies were there in those waves of rasa
ayantrit vegwan kisi sudharnav. Rather there were millions of oceans in every swirling smile
.What was it...Yes I very well remember-it was the smile of the
Supreme Lover. Smile, smile upon smile, lips contracted and then
bloomed...thereafter the Supreme Lover's ineffective endeavour to
keep the smile bound in lips...and then...that sweet smile burst out
laughing and was splashed around. How can words tie that gushing flow
of rasa in its feeble bond?
Gopis Passionately Drawn by Krishna's Smile
Some sakhi
saw the sweetness of this very smile, broke all barriers and gushed
forth, sying:dure
rajyamayantrit smit kala-'O
Prandhan, the wealth of our hearts!What should we say about this
smile of yours! On breaking innumerable social constraints, which
virtuous woman can come back to her senses after drowning even
slightly in the river of your smile, flowing unrestrained under control of Your extensive realm. Fascinating
us, this enchanting smile of Yours makes us helpless and compels us
to be smitten by You, the distributor of sweetness. This smile is not
merely a smile. One doesn't know how many messages are hidden in
it?The enchanting mantra of passionately drawing Your beloveds is
hidden in this smile of Yours...
Krishna's Smile is Proclaimed by Beat of the Kettledrum
Hearing
this, a restless maiden began to say:"muskan
ki daundi baji Braj mein abla kit jahin,"
You are talking about messages and indications, if the matter was
just this we could have borne it. Hey sakhi, In this case the
kettledrum is being sounded. This smile is being proclaimed by beat of the
kettledrum. In that case what should we frail women do?How should we deal with the situation?"
Shri Roop Goswami
Shri
Roop Goswami Maharaj has caught the theft,after all why has this
smile ravaged everyone's hearts. There is something different in the
smile today, the shoots of some new freshness. Lo, there it is! 'In that very same nikunj in front, both the love lorn divine
couple have been absorbed in some intoxicating dalliance of theirs, a
short while ago.
Shri Radha-Krishna in Nikunja
Sakhi
just listen, peeping through a small opening in the nikunj, I have
seen with my own eyes:gudhakoot
parihas radhika janitsmit: Shri Radhika joked meaningfully in which episode,
leading to this wonderful strange smile spreading across the face of
the love lorn Supreme Lover, dallying in the kunj...One doesn't know
what sort of a smile it is. It does not take time to dispel the pride
of the arrogant Braj maidens.
nija-jan
smaya-dhvans na-smita |
Your
mere smile is enough to quell the pride of your loved ones.

Who
is dearer to Him than these Braj beauties?
Whenever
they become conceited, Krishna steeps them in the nectarous flow of
His smile.
Krishna's Smile Takes a Gopi Close to Him
The
gopikas express the passionate pain of their hearts in such a
straightforward manner
tvat-sundara-smita-niriksana-tivra-kama
taptatmanam
purusa-bhusana dehi dasyam
(SB
10.29.38)
'Our
hearts are burning with intense desire generated by Your beautiful
smiling glances. O jewel among men, you only tell us what to do?
Please make us Your maidservants. Your smile is the only solution for
getting rid of this burning desire. It makes us attain dark-hued
Krishna's closeness, takes us closer and then closest to Him, this
sweet smile of His.
Shri Radha Infatuated by Krishna's Smile
Revealing some matter concerning Her, Lalitaji once asked, "Oh that
intoxicating smile! Kishori! How can you possibly manage that tender
smile of Krishna's?"
It was not possible to give an answer in words. Shri Radha became rapturous
and hugged her. Soon after, both of them got lost in that smile.
Krishna's Smile is Cooling & Arouses Passion
jayanti
shitani
tava
smitani
:
Shri Billavmangalji says that Your smile is cooling.
Gopikas
affirm that that very smile makes their hearts burn with intense
desires. What sort of a coolness is this that it generates passion
which blazes in their hearts. How are these two facts which appear
contradictory, connected to each other in this smile of His?
Therefore
Shri Billavmangali sings the glories of Krishna's cool smile,
jayanti shitani tava smitani .
