Commentary
The phrase madana-manoratha-bhävitayä means, “Desires born from the käma in the core of my heart are now fully mature.” When a man and a woman who are intensely attached to each other perform romantic activities to stimulate each other’s desires for union, the amorous mood is of two types, namely meeting (sambhoga) and separation (vipralambha). “Just as I, the separated lover, long for Kṛṣṇa, he also longs for me. O sakhi, take me to him at once!” In this instance, çåìgära-rasa is complete. Shri Rädhä says, “When I arrived at the secluded kuïja in the dead of night, not seeing Çyämasundara, I began to look around in great anxiety. At that time, he was observing my eagerness from his hiding place in a dense grove. “When I began to search for him with fearful eyes, he illuminated all directions with merriment by suddenly appearing right in front of me and laughing heartily out of enthusiasm for lovemaking. O sakhi, take me to him at once!” |
