Though he was surrounded by a throng of beautiful cowherd damsels, he made them retreat to a distant place by a motion of his eyes. As soon as Kṛṣṇa saw me, he was struck with wonder. His mind became obsessed with amorous desires, causing his flute to fall from his delicate hands and his forehead to become moist with perspiration. His face blossomed with the nectar of a bashful smile. I feel an indescribable bliss on seeing his reaction.”
