Haṃsadūta (original) (raw)
Rūpa Gosvāmin's Haṃsadūta (Hansa-duta, हंसदूत) or Swan Messenger was composed in the early part of the sixteenth century CE. In Haṃsadūta romantic and religious love are combined, to produce a poem that shines with the intensity of love for Krishna, the godhead. It was composed in Bengal by Rūpa Gosvāmin, who was one of the most famous poets of the Gaudiya sampradāya established by his contemporary, Chaitanya. The Gaudiyas were devotees of Krishna. In the Haṃsadūta Krishna has left Vrindavan for Mathura, abandoning the many cowherd girls who adore him. Chief among them was Rādhā, and she is distraught. Her friend Lalitā meets a swan on the banks of the Yamuna and begs him to take a message to Krishna.The theme, as of all messenger poems, is viraha, separation in love. Allusions to romance

Her friend Lalitā meets a swan on the banks of the Yamuna and begs him to take a message to Krishna.The theme, as of all messenger poems, is viraha, separation in love. Allusions to romance are never far away.The journey of the swan in the Haṃsadūta is concluded in 35 of its 142 stanzas, as the distance of swan has to cover is fairly short, from Vrindavan to Mathura. Lalitā's message takes up over half the poem, and dwells upon the state of the grief-stricken lover, Rādhā in this case, while praising her sweetheart – though Krishna is chided for forsaking the cowherd girls.In the Haṃsadūta, Rūpa Gosvāmin uses a number of puns which are ingeniously employed in order to weave the mythology of Krishna into the work. (en) Le Hamsaduta (en sanskrit : हंसदूत, IAST : Haṃsadūta), ou Cygne messager, est un poème de (en) composé au début du XVIe siècle au Bengale. Dans ce poème de messager, l'amour romantique et religieux sont combinés dans l'intensité de l'amour pour du dieu Krishna. Son auteur est un des poètes les plus célèbres du Gaudiya sampradāya, mouvement de dévotion à Krishna créé par son contemporain Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486-1533). Dans le Haṃsadūta, Krishna a quitté Vrindavan pour Mathura en abandonnant les vachères qui l'adorent. Sa maitresse Rādhā, en particulier, est désespérée. Son amie Lalitā rencontre un cygne (ou plus précisément un hamsa) sur les berges de la Yamuna et le prie de transmettre un message à Krishna. Le voyage du cygne du Haṃsadūta est conclu en 35 de ses 142 stances, la distance entre Vrindavan et Mathura étant assez courte. Le message de Lalitā occupe plus de la moitié du poème : il dépeint la tristesse de Radha, fait l'éloge de sa tendresse et reproche à Krishna d'avoir abandonné les vachères. Dans le texte, utilise un certain nombre d'expressions à double sens pour y intégrer la mythologie de Krishna. (fr) |
