Translation

Rädhä was blinded by love for Kṛṣṇa and enchanted to the point of bewilderment. In this condition she became utterly shameless. Directly before the attractive eyes of the other radiant cowherd maidens, who were overwhelmed with love in the räsa-lélä, Rädhä tightly embraced Kṛṣṇa’s chest. Singing his praises, “O my sweetheart, how handsome is your lotus face. What an incomparable mine of abundant nectar,” she engaged him in a delightful kiss. On witnessing the intensity of her love, Kṛṣṇa expressed the rhapsody within his heart with a charming chuckle. O Shri Kṛṣṇa, may you bestow auspiciousness upon all.
