My Only One

baṃśī-vibhūṣita-karāt navanīradābhāt 
pītāṃbarād-aruṇa-biṃba-phalādharoṣṭhāt 
pūrṇēndu-sundara-mukhād-aravinda-netrāt
kṛṣṇāt paraṃ kimapi tattvam-ahaṃ na jāne



kimapi tattvam aham na jāne ...

I do not know of any other truth or any other person.

I know only one those hands decorated by a flute or the hands that decorate the flute - bamśī vibhūṣita karāt

I know only that form that has fresh blue hue - navanīradābhāt

I know only that yellowish garment - pītāmbarāt

It is a beautiful contrast.  He is dark and wears a golden yellow garment.  That's gorgeous!!!

I know only those reddish lips of His mouth that have the color of bimba fruits - aruṇabimbaphalādharoṣṭḥāt.  Which girl can go beyond this description?  When He smiles while teasing you, when He wears that naughty smile, when He speaks that lie shamelessly after coming late to meet you, when He kisses you on your lips and does not let go ...  those reddish sweet lips that make you forget yourself.  Those lips purified by coming into contact with the lips of other gopikas ... Sigh! What can we not give to take the place of that flute!

I know only that beautiful face that shines like a full moon - pūrṇēndu-sundara-mukhāt

I know only those lotus eyes - aravinda-netrāt

I know only Krishna - kṛśṇāt

kṛṣṇāt paraṃ kimapi tattvam-ahaṃ na jāne!
This is the version of advaita that works for me. :-)
