Hari,

Can you please change the word Bujat to pUchat, both in the title of the topic and the posting? I am sure Lji will have the words to this one. The first line, pUchat SAm kOn tU gOrI - means - the dark-hued krishNa (SAm/SyAm) enquires (pUchat), 'Oh fair maiden (gOrI), who (kOn/kaun) are you (tU)?'

Sure, i am editing it as suggested, but that's how i found the name while searching in internet!!

Lji - I am trying to locate some notes from ages ago - can't seem to find them - but I do remember having them as pUchat SyAm, but after reading your post, I heard Smt. MSS' version and she does sing pUjat SyAm, so I am not sure, but if I find my notes I will post.

Ravi,
pUchhat means asks...
bUjhat means inquires...
pUjat means prays...

pUchhat and bUjhat makes sense, right? but i dont think pUjat will make sense

The Surdas poem is bUjhat ("bUjhat" would be the Braja bOli so I think this would be the equivalent of "pUchat" in Hindi ), considering the ensuing questions he asks of Radha -- ...........here is the quick & easy translation peeled off the net, with some modifications...

Krishna said, 'O fair beauty, who are you?
Where do you live? Whose daughter are you?
I never yet saw you in the lanes of Braj.'

Radha said, 'What need have I to come this way?
I play by my own door/area. (khElati rahati Apane pauri)
But I hear that some son of Nanda
is in the habit of stealing butter and curds.'

Krishna said, 'Look, why should I appropriate
anything that's yours? Come, let's play together.'

Suradasa says: By his honeyed words,
Krishna, the crafty prince of amorists,
beguiled Radha and put her at ease.

Lakshmanji -- I heard the song again from MSS -- the word seems "bujhat" to me.........

O my god! i didnt take heed to carefully read the lyrics! this is such a beautiful song! i heard it when i watched rAs lIlA in Varanasi. it was sung simply wonderfully!! i just realised its the same song i like so much when shyama-priya gave the rough meaning! i have a recording of the song... i remember sri kRSNa and SrI rAdhA singing this to each other,,, it was really baeutiful!

Shyama-priya and krishnaa:
Are the lyrics correct?

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 17 Aug 2009, 23:50

krishnaa - yes I meant pUchat (c as in cAr, and ch as in pUchnA)..I remember it as pUchat...I have to listen to Smt. MSS's version again - I am sure she has the word right. As far as I knew, bUjhnA was 'to perceive' (as in the use 'jAn bUjhke') - I was not aware of it meaning (even in brajbhAsA) ask/enquire...

krishnaa · Post by **krishnaa** » 18 Aug 2009, 00:03

i will confirm the lyrics soon...
ravi,
bUjhnA also means to inquire/to understand in some morth indian languages including brajabhASA

smala · Post by **smala** » 18 Aug 2009, 07:23

Krishnaa, can you share the recording with us ? Waiting for you to confirm the lyrics....and the slide show...

(for some paranormal reason I can't seem to get those darned color smileys to stick ! )

krishnaa · Post by **krishnaa** » 18 Aug 2009, 13:56

Shyama-priya,
will confirm the lyrics soon.
the recording is not a good one at all,,, it is manually done with lots of noise.....
and as for the slideshow.... i just dont understand what i should do next... did you get my previous mail?

I found some part of my notes (not all though) - this verse is the third in a set of verses from the sUrsAgar describing the first meeting between krishNa and rAdhA - the first verse describes krishNa and the second rAdhA in the midst of other girls on the banks of the yamunA, and the third is this one (I do have it written down as pUchat...

but can't find the rest of this verse).

smala · Post by **smala** » 19 Aug 2009, 22:28

Something I found digging around.........

The First Meeting Of Radha And Krishna

Krishna went playing in the lanes of Braj,
a yellow silk garment round his waist,
holding a top and a string to spin it with,
a crown of peacock-feathers adorning his head
his ears with charming ear-rings decked,
his teeth flashing brighter than the sun's rays,
his limbs anointed with sandalwood-paste.

On the Yamuna bank he chanced to see Radha;
a tika mark of turmeric on her brow,
dressed in a flowing skirt and blue blouse,

her lovely long wreathed hair dangling behind,
a stripling, fair, of beauty unsurpassed
with her, a bevy of fair milkmaids:

Krishna's eyes met hers;
love woke in his heart,
says Suradasa, bewitched by her,
he gazed and gazed.

Can paavam Hari revert the title back to "bujhat" now, Ravi ? That conk on the head must've hurt.

This is what i hear:

bUjhat shyAm kaun tU gOrI
kahAn rahet kA kI hO beTI dEkhI nahI kabahu vrija kOri
kAhE kO ham vrajta Avat khElati rahati Apane pauri
sunti rahati shravanana nanda ghOTa karata phirata mAkhana kI chOrI
tumharO kahAn cOri hamanE khElane calO sanga mil jOri
sUr shyAm nAgar uta nAgari bAtana ghurat rAdhikA gOrI

there was a small version sung just before this one describing sri kRSNa playing in the streets of vraja when he sudenly notices sri rAdhA. here it is:

khelana hari nikase vrija kOrI
kati kAcchanI bhESa naTavara kO, hAth liye ---------
gaye shyAm ravi taniyA ke taTa anga lasat candan kI khOrI
auchak hi dekhi srI rAdhA mAng sindUr bhAl diye rOrI

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 20 Aug 2009, 01:42

I just noticed that 'vrishbhAnu kumAri' does not answer the question kA kI hO bETi?

And yes...bUjhnE calE ham bhI....

krishnaa · Post by **krishnaa** » 20 Aug 2009, 02:41

Ravi,
kA kI ho beTI - in varajabhASA means "whose daughter are you?"
vrishabhAnu kumArI means the daughter of vrishabhAnu.

and yes.. so what is it that you want to ask about??

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 20 Aug 2009, 04:34

I just pointed out that she (rAdhA) doesn't answer that question!

krishnaa · Post by **krishnaa** » 20 Aug 2009, 09:59

OOOOOOOOO i see!!!!!! sorry, i didnt understand what you meant!

sorry!!! and indeed she doesnt answer that question!

Some corrections, if I may, Krishna:

1) kabahu --> kahun (nowhere)
2) vrajta --> vrajata mE Avat ( why do I need to come to Vraja - because I play here by my door/area)
3) Lakshman-ji has the last line correct ---> sur shyam sUrdAs prabhu rasika shirOmaNi bAt nA bhurai rAdhAkA gOri ...........all these corrections as sung by MSS.....link below.

kabahUn - any time
dEkhI nahI kabahu vrija kOri
i hane never seen you in the streets of vraja.

kAhe ku ham vraja me Avat - thats the corrects one

I beg to differ.

MSS says kahun...... not kabahu.... to my ears....."I have not seen you (dekhat nahi) anywhere (kahun) in the streets of vraja" - literally, but "I have never seen you in the streets of Vraja" will also work...

also.....it is vrajata mE Avat......
