Translation

Tradução

The festive rāsa dance commenced, with the gopīs arrayed in a circle. Lord Kṛṣṇa expanded Himself and entered between each pair of gopīs, and as that master of mystic power placed His arms around their necks, each girl thought He was standing next to her alone. The demigods and their wives were overwhelmed with eagerness to witness the rāsa dance, and they soon crowded the sky with their hundreds of celestial airplanes.

A festiva dança da rāsa começou, com as gopīs dispostas em círculo. O Senhor Kṛṣṇa expandiu-Se, entrou no meio de cada par de gopīs e, como o mestre do poder místico, colocou os braços ao redor dos pescoços delas, fazendo com que cada mocinha pensasse que Ele estava apenas a seu lado. Os semideuses e suas esposas, dominados pela avidez de testemunhar a dança da rāsa, logo encheram o céu com suas centenas de aeroplanos celestiais.

Comentário

Śrīla Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura has written the following verse about the rāsa dance:

SIGNIFICADO—Śrīla Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura escreveu o seguinte verso sobre a dança da rāsa:

aṅganām aṅganām antarā mādhavo
mādhavaṁ mādhavaṁ cāntareṇāṅganāḥ
ittham ākalpite maṇḍale madhya-gaḥ
sañjagau veṇunā devakī-nandanaḥ

“Lord Mādhava was situated between each pair of gopīs, and a gopī was situated between each pair of His manifestations. And Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the son of Devakī, also appeared in the middle of the circle, playing upon His flute and singing.”

“O Senhor Mādhava ficou entre cada par de gopīs, e uma gopī ficou entre cada par de Suas manifestações. E Śrī Kṛṣṇa, o filho de Devakī, também apareceu no meio do círculo, tocando Sua flauta e cantando.”

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura points out that the gopīs, maddened by love, were unable to understand that Śrī Kṛṣṇa had expanded Himself so He could personally dance with each of them. Each gopī saw one manifestation of Kṛṣṇa. The demigods and their wives, however, could see all His different manifestations as they watched the rāsa dance from their airplanes, and thus they were completely astonished.

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura ressalta que as gopīs, enlouquecidas de amor, não eram capazes de compreender que Śrī Kṛṣṇa Se expandira para poder dançar pessoalmente com cada uma delas. Cada gopī via uma manifestação de Kṛṣṇa. Os semideuses e suas esposas, todavia, podiam ver todas as Suas diferentes manifestações enquanto, a partir de seus aeroplanos, observavam a dança da rāsa, motivo pelo qual ficaram completamente atônitos.
