O Krishna! Owing to pangs of separation, <br />for Ra dha, her home seems to be a forest. <br />The group of her dear maiden-friends <br />appears as a trapping net. <br />With heavy sighs, the heat of separation <br />turns to be a vast forest-conflagration. <br />It is a matter of severe woe <br />that because of thy separation, <br />Oh, how she appears as a doe, <br />and Love-god Cupid for her, <br />has become Yama, the Lord of Death, <br />displaying the activities of a fierce tiger. <br /> <br />[Extracts from English Version of 'Gita-Govinda of Jayadeva' <br />Translated by Dr. Harekrishna Meher]<br /><br />Harekrishna Meher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fierce-tiger-gita-govinda/
