1.7.29

iha rasa-bhaṇane kṛta-hari-guṇane madhuripu-pada-sevake |
kali-yuga-caritaṃ na vasatu duritaṃ kavi-nṛpa-jayadevake ||

O great Hari! purge from wrong
The soul of him who writes this song;
Purge the souls of those that read
From every fault of thought and deed;
With thy blessed light assuage
The darkness of this evil age!
Jayadev the bard of love,
Servant of the Gods above,
Prays it for himself and you--
Gentle hearts who listen!--too.

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs

1.7.29.p1

NOTE: {racitam iti kvacit dṛśyate.}

O great Hari! purge from wrong
The soul of him who writes this song;
Purge the souls of those that read
From every fault of thought and deed;
With thy blessed light assuage
The darkness of this evil age!
Jayadev the bard of love,
Servant of the Gods above,
Prays it for himself and you--
Gentle hearts who listen!--too.
