An Indian Sanskrit lyric poem. The Japanese translation of the poem is "Song of the Cowherd." It was written by the poet Jayadeva in the late 12th century. It consists of 12 chapters and has as its theme the sensual love affair between Krishna, a cowherd boy who is an incarnation of the god Vishnu, and Radha, a cowherd woman. The author makes full use of Sanskrit poetic techniques and attempts to create musical effects, but this pastoral love lyric poem is interpreted as hinting at the relationship between gods and humans, and this mystical significance has earned it the acclaim of Vishnu worshippers, making it a precursor to the so-called Vaishnavite literature.

インドのサンスクリット抒情詩。邦訳名『牛飼いの歌』。 12世紀後半頃の詩人ジャヤデーバ作。 12章から成り,ビシュヌ神の化身である牧童クリシュナと牛飼い女ラーダーとの官能的恋愛を主題としている。作者はサンスクリットの詩的技巧を縦横に駆使し,音楽的効果を企図しているが,この田園情緒豊かな恋愛抒情詩の背後には,神と人間との関係の暗示があるとの解釈がなされ,この神秘的意義によってビシュヌ崇拝者の絶賛を博し,いわゆるビシュヌ派文学の先駆をなすものといわれている。
