“Impelled by his craving for çåìgära-rasa, Kṛṣṇa is embracing one of his beloveds; he is kissing another and somewhere else he enjoys passionate congress with another. Elsewhere he gazes expectantly at the face of another lover, while appreciating the nectar of her sweet smile. Somewhere else he is following a woman who has left him in a huff.” CommentaryÇré Kṛṣṇa has assumed many forms to enjoy varieties of romantic activities simultaneously with all the heroines who are intent on sporting with him. Impelled by a craving for the happiness of sensual union, Kṛṣṇa sometimes embraces one impassioned woman; sometimes he kisses another. Somewhere he is strolling with one gopé and elsewhere he is glancing with intense thirst for the ravishing beauty of another. Sometimes he accidentally addresses a fine young woman, “O Rädhä!” Consequently she becomes indignant and leaves in a huff. Kṛṣṇa is so anxious for her love that he follows behind and uses various ploys to make her return. When that sulky gopé refuses his amorous advances, he tries to soften her anger with humble requests for conciliation. |
