Gopī-gīta: The Song of the Gopīs in Separation
Viraha-bhakti
विरचिताभयं वृष्णिधूर्य ते चरणमीयुषां संसृतेर्भयात् । करसरोरुहं कान्त कामदं शिरसि धेहि न: श्रीकरग्रहम् ॥ ५ ॥
viracitābhayaṁ vṛṣṇi-dhūrya te caraṇam īyuṣāṁ saṁsṛter bhayāt kara-saroruhaṁ kānta kāma-daṁ śirasi dhehi naḥ śrī-kara-graham
おお、ヴリシュニ族の最勝者よ。輪廻(サンサーラ)を恐れて御足に近づく者に無畏を授け、吉祥女神シュリー・ラクシュミーの手を取る、蓮華のごとき御手よ。愛しき御方、その願いを満たす蓮の御手を私たちの頭上に置いてください。
It says Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet create fearlessness for those who approach them, specifically removing the fear born from saṁsāra (repeated birth and death).
In loving separation, they beg for His personal touch and blessing—His hand is described as auspicious and “desire-fulfilling,” meaning His presence alone restores their life and joy.
It points to śaraṇāgati: consciously taking shelter of Kṛṣṇa (through prayer, remembrance, and devotion) as the inner source of fearlessness amid worldly uncertainty.
