Verse 13
“He made me lie down upon a charming bed of soft, fresh flowers and then, with great pleasure, he laid so radiantly upon my heart. I kissed him and embraced him deeply. Moreover, he embraced me and repeatedly drank the nectar of my lips under the powerful influence of anaìga-rasa. O sakhi, he is dearer to me than my very life. Take me to meet with him at once.” Commentary“Sakhi, in the appointed place, Kṛṣṇa made me lie down upon a bed made of soft flowers. After that he enjoyed lovemaking upon my bosom for a long time. I would embrace and kiss him and he would also embrace me and drink the nectar of my lips at the same time. O sakhi, arrange for me to meet with Shri Kṛṣṇa at once.” Kåta-parirambhaëa – The author of Rasa-maïjaré comments that this position is called kñéra-néra äliìgana on the basis of evidence from Païcasäyaka. The author of Rasika-priyä considers this type of embrace to be tila-taëòula äliìgana and gives evidence from his Koka-çästra. |
