Commentary:
Capriciousness of Krishna's Childhood
Shri Billavmangal ji
Maharaj is saying that my voice does not have the ability to speak
about the majestic love sports which enhance your madhurya or sweetness. Let
me be eagerly desirous to dwell upon Your childhood which is laden with
fickleness, in which capriciousness constantly escalates.
Krishna's Madhurya Passionately Draws the Cowherdesses
Billavmangal ji has put his point across very cleverly by saying that it is
grandeur which enhances madhurya. Grandeur is otherwise such an intimidating
word but it has been sweetened here to a great extent. It is not a grandeur
centred on the dazzle of jewels, the flashing glitter of wealth and riches. Herein
it is used to enhance Krishna’s madhurya.whose lustre peeps through the
creepers of some dense nikunja. Filtering
through thick green foliage it seeps out, gazing at which the horde of
cowherdesses get immersed in the gush of madhurya, become engrossed in the
romantic dalliance of the Supreme Lover and His Beloved, and in the sweetness
of their love sports. As fruition a longing for that sweet majestic beauty is
inflamed in their hearts, which makes them attain the proximity of the Supreme
Lover, and engrosses them in that very majestic form. How beautiful, intoxicating
and heart- churning is this majesty. The silence of words not spoken is an
indicator of its charm, sweetness and infatuation.
Krishna's Childhood
The word ‘shaishav’ is quite misleading… it is a childhood which enhances fickleness. It is
true that capriciousness does reside in childhood. But it is not as if
Shri Billavmangal ji is longing for a fickleness merely activated by childhood.
Krishna as an Adolescent Youth
The affection of an adolescent youth’s capriciousness,
fluidity, juicy freshness and undeceitfulness is endowed with the fragrance of childhood…Rasika
Billavmangal , a Sur moved by passionate religious devotion for Rasik Shekhar
Krishna says’ This sweet beauteous form of Yours, charming beauty, amorous
love sports, the blue-hued lustre pervading every limb of Yours, ineffably
beautiful adolescence, intoxicating
sidelong glance, sparkling, row of teeth gleaming amidst slighted parted lips,
swinging creeper like arms, thick eyelashes- all add up to Your grandeur.’ Therefore
Billavmangal ji prays that his voice is forever irrigated by this grandiose
beauty of Krishna’s, and is coloured by it. Whatever is uttered from his voice,
is written in the order of words and his collection of sentences, end up singing the
glories of His beauteous form, romantic
dalliances and love sports. May his voice be pacified by Krishna’s sweet
grandeur and the sweetness of His lila or divine play.
Billavmangalji Longs to Attain the Ineffably Beautiful Krishna
‘O Shyam Sunder, the treasure trove of my heart. May I be
consistently empowered to meditate
focusedly upon You while recollecting Your adolescent youth and lilas. May I be capable of meditating
upon the stories of Your divine play with immense eagerness. May my ardent
longing to attain You continue to escalate with every passing moment. May my
mind and soul keep becoming more and more restless to attain You, ‘ request
Billavmangal ji. ‘
The Sidelong Glance of Krishna
This desire is
so beautifully expressed in the words of Lalit Kishori ji:’
‘ab vilamb jinni karau ladile, kripadrishti
tuk hairo |
‘lalit kishori tanman aakul, shrivan
chahat basero |
Which mean:
‘Do not delay any longer O darling Krishna, look at me with
your merciful glance .
'Lalit Kishor'i ardently longs for You with his heart and soul,
and wants to reside in Shri Van.’
