Oh, my slender bamboo-like arms droop, as the love-bird koels call! Oh, these flocking peacocks dance, heedless of my loneliness! Oh, Krishna! You took your cows to graze, you are heartless, alas! You kill us with your lotus eyes. The day stretches into eternity

Every time you held my firm breasts, a flood of joy swelled, swept my mind and broke the sky, then left me like a dream, alas! Desire has seeped into my every pore, more than I can bear. O Krishna, you are heartless, you leave us and go after your cows, alas!

My hot breath is drying my soul. Alas! I shall die with no companions! Oh, I may not live to see the dalliance of your dark frame again. Tears do not stop from these fish-eyes, the day does not pass. Curve our lowly birth as cowherd-girls, this solitude must die.

O Govinda, you do not think of our pangs of loneliness, alas! You desire only your cows, you leave us aside and go after them, You false words are like sweet poison running from your ripe berry-lips, They have penetrated my every pore, and kill me every time I recall!

O Krishna, you spend all day grazing your cows. Your apologies kill me, alas! The inebirate evening conies waffling the fragrance of unfolding Jasmine. Come, make our breasts fragrant with the Mullai flowers on your chest! Give us your lips! Place your jewel hand on this lowly head, alas!

O Krishna, give me quick your jewel hand! Alas, my femininity car not bear! In the midst of that act, other damsels with grab your feet! Alas, your grazing cows is a shattering blow that dries my soul. Tears do not stop from these eyes, my heart does not stop too.

Our heart melts like wax in fire, our belt has loosened. Out clear eyes form pearly tears, our breasts have paled, our shoulders droop. O Gem-hued Lord, you walk hurting your lotus-soft feet, grazing lovely cows! What if Asuras fell upon you there?

O, My heart sinks! Pray do not go, what if Asuras fell upon you? Wetness and desire swell inside me for union, O Krishna, do not slip away! Displaying your bewitching lotus eyes, lips and hands and yellow robes, pray enjoy sweet union with these other young cowherd-girls of shrivelled hips also!

Every time you enjoy sweet union with good cowherd-girls and overcome your misery. Our femininity rises uncontrolled. We enjoy if even more. alas! Pray do not go after your cows. Hordes of Asuras are sent by Kamsa. if you get caught, attrocities may happen, take heed, alas, oh!

Wicked Asuras sent by Kamsa roam and disturb the Rishis, take heed, Oh! You like to go alone; you do not care for Balarama or his company. Alas, my feetlings scorch my soul. O My Krishna, our cowherd Lord of coral lips, you prefer grazing cows to even Vaikunta!

This decad of the thousand songs by Porunal's kurugur Satakopan addresses the cowherd-Lord coral lips, spouse of Sri, with the words of a young Gopi pleading with him not to go grazing his cows. Those who can sing it will attain the benefit that she attained
