Swayamvara



(1698)  Ajana pathik thamo go khanik

Unknown Traveler, do pause for a moment;
Upon You a garland I will place.
Blossoms with pollen and smiling devotion
Having arrayed... I have brought my wicker tray.[1]

To please You I am moving, songs a-singing,
With tunes in tempo I am practicing at Your sangeet;
For a mind honey-coated by love's awakening,
A sweetly sonorous girdle of psyche.

To choose You[2] I dance in many a rhythm,
Happiness surging on a stream of ambrosia.
I don't wish to take a thing; I want but to give
Adoration, heart poured out.
