Varṣā-Śarad Vṛndāvana-Śobha: The Beauty of the Rainy and Autumn Seasons in Vraja
शाद्वलोपरि संविश्य चर्वतो मीलितेक्षणान् । तृप्तान् वृषान् वत्सतरान् गाश्च स्वोधोभरश्रमा: ॥ ३० ॥ प्रावृट्श्रियं च तां वीक्ष्य सर्वकालसुखावहाम् । भगवान् पूजयां चक्रे आत्मशक्त्युपबृंहिताम् ॥ ३१ ॥
śādvalopari saṁviśya carvato mīlitekṣaṇān tṛptān vṛṣān vatsatarān gāś ca svodho-bhara-śramāḥ
Господь смотрел на довольных быков, телят и коров, сидящих на зелёной траве и жующих с закрытыми глазами, и видел, как коровы утомлены тяжестью своих полных молока вымён. Созерцая красоту и изобилие дождливого сезона во Вриндаване — источника радости во все времена, расширенного Его собственной внутренней энергией, — Бхагаван воздал этой поре почтение.
The lush beauty of the rainy season in Vṛndāvana is meant to enhance the pleasure pastimes of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Thus, to set the scene for the Lord’s loving affairs, His internal potency makes all the arrangements described in this chapter.
