Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Enadhu ullamae is a deeply devotional composition expressing divine bliss and total surrender to Lord Krishna. Saint Meera conveys how her heart overflows with an uncontrollable flood of joy whenever she meditates upon Krishna, the brave Yadava hero and son of Nanda. She beautifully describes His divine features—comparing His eyes, lotus-face, hands, and feet to delicate flowers adorned with a gentle smile. Krishna is non-different from every relationship and treasure for her: He is her parents, master, ultimate wealth, beauty, and joy. Meditating upon her lord Giridhara Gopala fills her entire being with transcendental ecstasy.
