Mandara Makaranda

With the sweetness of the Mandara flower's nectar,
Like a honeybee, I am drawn to your intoxicating love.
Like the pure Mandakini river flows,
My love for you surges in waves.
Like the gentle rustling of tender leaves,
I shyly approach you, my beloved.

Like the cool, dense mist of the morning,
Your divine lotus feet are my refuge.
My mind is completely absorbed in the nectar of your thoughts,
How else can I express this feeling?

With virtuous qualities and character,
I offer myself to you.
