“He lowers his face with the desire to kiss the faces of the gopés in the festival of Cupid. His tender lips are an enchanting soft reddish colour like the bud of a scarlet mallow flower. The unprecedented lustre of his mild smile spreads across his handsome face. Memories of that very Shri Kṛṣṇa are coming to me most vividly.” Commentary“Memories of Shri Kṛṣṇa, who is greedy to kiss the faces of the newly married gopés, are forcefully occupying my mind. When he is immersed in secret loveplay in the forest bowers, his eagerness to kiss the faces of the gopés increases incessantly. The memory of Shri Kṛṣṇa’s red lips, the colour of scarlet mallow flowers (bandhüka), is awakening spontaneously within my mind. Sakhi, when he smiles, his handsomeness increases even more.” |
