Dasakam 58 Saving of Gopas and Gokula from forest fire and seasons in Brindavan

(Again Lord Krishna saves them from another forest fire which surrounded all of you by simply transporting all of you back to Vrindavana in an instant. This chapter also contains the description of Vrindavana during different seasons.)

Dasakam: 058 -- Slokam: 01

When you were immersed in the joy of playing with Gopa boys,
And spent some time to kill Pralambhasura,
The calves without any one to mind them,
Went on grazing and reached a forest called Ishika. 58.1

The cows who lived in Brindavana , where the heat of summer is not felt,
Reached the forest of Ishika which is outside Brindavan’s boundary,
And due to the parting with you as well as due to torrid heat of summer,
Were parched by the heat and became tired due to thirst. 58.2

Hey God you along with your helpers searched far and wide,
And at last found the cows which lost their way and were suffering,
And when you instructed your friends to drive them back instantly,
And went near the cows, alas a huge forest fire surrounded all of you. 58.3

When the forest fire raged furiously breaking the timber,
With terrible sound and spread very speedily all around,
Oh God you all became like half baked and fell in agony,
And all the people and animals rushed near you shouting,
“Oh God, Oh God please save us from this dangerous fire”. 58.4

You told them , “Do not be scared so much and close your eyes”,
And when they obeying your words, closed your eyes, wonder of wonders,
In an instant they felt that the fire has gone and the forest has gone,
And they found themselves places in the Bhandeera forest. 58.5

Dasakam: 058 -- Slokam: 06

जय जय तव माया केयमीशेति तेषां

Laughing and entertaining them , when they told,
“Oh Victory, victory to you , your Maya is indeed great,”,
You roamed about in the forest where the Summer,
Can be recognized only by the blossoming of Patala trees,
And looking after and helping to graze all the cows. 58.6

You spent the entire summer in the banks of Yamuna,
With the intensity of heat that is similar to the pain of those who hate you,
Which dries up all the sins within you similar to its drying all trees,
And which is similar to the luster of heat generated by your hand. 58.7

The rainy season with its cluster of clouds ,
Which is similar to the dazzle of your body,
And with its continuous streak of lightning,
Which reminded one of the yellow silk that you wear,
Started playing effortlessly in the caves of the mountain. 58.8

That Govardhana mountain worshipped you living in the caves,
By praying with pretty sounds of very happy and joyous peacock,
And offering you with flowers falling from the Kutaja and Kadamba trees. 58.9

Then you enjoyed the autumn which followed the rainy season,
Which had copious water clear like the minds of your devotees,
By grazing your cows in the fertile grass lands,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur, please give me good health. 58.10
