kiṃ viśrāmyasi kṛṣṇa-bhogi-bhavane bhāṇḍīra-bhūmī-ruhi bhrātar yāsi na dṛṣṭi-gocaram itaḥ sānanda-nandāspadam |  
rādhāyā vacanaṃ tad adhvaga-mukhān nandāntike gopato govindasya jayanti sāyam atithi-prāśastya-garbhā giraḥ ||

> Why dost thou linger in this dull spot,  
> Haunted by serpents and evil for thee?  
> Why not hasten to Nanda's House?  
> It is plain, if thine eyes could see.  
> — Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs

> May these words of high endeavour--  
> Full of grace and gentle favour--  
> Find out those whose hearts can feel  
> What the message did reveal,  
> Words that Radha's messenger  
> Unto Krishna took from her,  
> Slowly guiding him to come  
> Through the forest to his home,  
> Guiding him to find the road  
> Which led--though long--to Love's abode.  
> — Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
