The love of Radha and Krishna is said to be immortal. Jayadeva captured this eternal love beautifully in his mellifluous composition, ‘Gita Govinda’.
कृष्णजी राधारानी से कहते हैं – त्वमसि मम भूषणं त्वमसि मम जीवनं, त्वमसि मम भवजलधिरत्नम्। भवतु भवतीह मयि सततमनुरोधिनी, तत्र मम हृदयमतियत्नम् || ( गीतगोविन्दम्, १०.४)
तुम ही मेरी भूषण स्वरूप हो| तुम ही मेरा जीवन हो | तुम ही मेरे संसार रूपी समुद्र का रत्न हो| तुम सदैव मेरे प्रति अपना प्रेम एवं सान्निध्य बनाये रखो, यही मेरा ऐकांतिक प्रयास है |
Krishna tells Radha – You are my ornament. You are my life. You are the jewel in the ocean of my existence. Always remain favourably disposed to me – this is the only aim of my endeavours.
