Priyah so’yam

My dear friend,

now I have met My very old and dear friend Krishna

on this field of Kurukṣetra.

I am the same Rādhārāṇī,

and now We are meeting together.

It is very pleasant,

but I would still like to go to the bank of the Yamunā

beneath the trees of the forest there.

I wish to hear the vibration of His sweet flute playing the fifth note

within that forest of Vṛndāvana.
