मुग्धा मुहुर्विदधती वदने मुरारेः प्रेमत्रपाप्रणिहितानि गतागतानि । मालादृशोर्मधुकरीव महोत्पले या सा मे श्रियं दिशतु सागरसम्भवायाः ॥२॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- मुग्धा मुहुर्विदधती वदने मुरारेः
- shyly placing again and again on Murari's face
- प्रेमत्रपाप्रणिहितानि गतागतानि ।
- movements veiled by love and modesty, coming and going
- मालादृशोर्मधुकरीव महोत्पले या
- she who is like a bee on the great lotus of his garlanded eyes
- सा मे श्रियं दिशतु सागरसम्भवायाः ॥२॥
- may that daughter of the ocean grant me prosperity
The shy, returning glance is the play of consciousness delighting in its own reflection. Prosperity sought from Lakshmi is ultimately the inward wealth of joy that arises when the mind rests in the Lord.
