The Delighted Captive of Love
Song 4
Scene Four
Verse 45
“One young lady claps her hands while dancing, enraptured in the ecstasy of the räsa. Shri Hari praises her upon hearing the marvellous melody of his flute combined with the sound of her trembling bangles.” CommentaryThe sakhé tells Rädhä that one young lady is clapping her hands with the utmost dexterity of rhythm and tone (täna, mäna, laya) while dancing with Kṛṣṇa in the räsa-lélä. Her bangles collide together to make a rhythmic jingle that complements the sound of his flute. Hearing this astonishingly sweet music, Kṛṣṇa repeatedly applauds his attractive lover. |
