“From the sudden, unexpected surge of rapture within the pleasure of passionate love with him, my eyes became tired and closed. Kṛṣṇa’s cheeks assumed an extraordinary charm and loveliness from the joy of this love-play. Although he was already intoxicated by the mellows of amorous union, seeing my attractive body exhausted and dripping with perspiration, he became even more agitated by the desire to taste anaìga-rasa. O sakhi, quickly arrange for me to meet with Shri Kṛṣṇa!” Commentary“Sakhi, my body became tired and my eyes closed from the exhaustion that follows in the wake of sexual pleasure. My whole body was wet with drops of perspiration indicative of my lusty thoughts. Seeing me in that condition, the intense passion in Kṛṣṇa’s heart caused his jubilation to escalate, which in turn creating an enthralling lustre on his cheeks. He was immersed in the immensely powerful bliss of erotic love. By beholding my vine-like body, he suddenly became agitated. O sakhi, arrange for me to meet with him!” Profuse perspiration on Shri Rädhä’s body from the ecstasy of lovemaking reveals the climax of her previously experienced delight. |
