Krsna Karnamrta

[madanmohandas]

Greetings all.
Just aquired a copy of Krsna Karnamrta edited by Frances Wilson. It has all three satakams! Having only recieved minutes ago can't say much more. The ISBN 0-8122-7655-8

Here is a sample, a famous verse from the 2nd sataka,

anganAmanganAmantare mAdhavo.......

Between each young woman was Madhava;
between each Madhava was a young woman.
In the middle of a circle so arranged,
the son of Devaki played his flute.

[madanmohandas]

Here is a delightful sloka from KK. 2.61

kAlindIpulinodareSu musalI yAvadgatah khelituM

itthaM bAlatayA pratAraNaparah zrutvA yazodAgirah

"O hari, your elder brother Musali has gone to play
on the sandy banks of Kalinda's daughter, while he is away,
drink the milk of the dappled cow so that your top-not will grow."
Hari listened to these coaxing words of Yasoda,
and when he had half the milk consummed, with child-like
anticipation, felt his top-not; may that Hari protect us.
