Translation

“O sakhi, Keçi-mathana Kṛṣṇa is never lacking in generosity when it comes to relieving the burning heat of Kämadeva. What’s more, his mind is also bewildered by attachment for me. My anxiety is mounting incessantly; how will my desire to unite with him be fulfilled? Arrange for our meeting immediately.

“Once, he went to a secluded forest bower at night in accordance with the plan we had discreetly arranged by hints and signals. In a mischievous mood, he concealed himself in the dense foliage of the forest just to observe my eagerness to meet him and my agony in his absence. I began to look around with tired, fearful eyes, immersed in anxiety and thinking ‘Oh, when will he come?’ Then he suddenly delighted me with the nectar of his amorous laughter.

“Kṛṣṇa is munificent and he is the killer of the Keçé demon. My yearning for passionate love-play has reached the utmost limit and I am prepared to perform all the activities of union. So my dear friend, arrange for Shri Kṛṣṇa to fulfil his ambitions with me at once.”
