smarasi purA - Kapi - Adi

P smarasi purA guru vanitA vachasA
gatmasmabhir vanamati tarasA ||
Oh friend Kuchela, do you remember one day our guru's wife asked us to fetch some firewood from forest.
C 1 indhana jAla samAna yanArdham
nisitimirEna tadA vitatAyam
sOdum varsham jAtamakAlE
bhrAntam vidhruta karai rayi sahasA ||
After we both collected some firewood from the forest and were returning home, it became night with heavy rain. Then we both walked boldly holding each other's hands and came home.
C 2 ushasi samEtsya dEsika tilakO
drishtvAsmAniha valitAn vipinE
mOda pareetO anugrahamakarO
dati karuNArdra tarE nahi manasA ||
Early in the morning our esteemed Guru knowing about our hardships during the previous night, pitied us and blessed us heartily.
C 3 Evam sarasijanAbho bhagavan
tamiha kuchElam samsan sarasam
sa punarabhAnee dEtam vAnim
dvijamanu jita mihirOnija mahisA ||
In this way Lord Krishna whose effulgence humbles the Sun, who is extolled for his greatness talked to his friend Kuchela.
