“O best of physicians! You are just like the celestial physicians, the Açvinékumäras. The exquisitely beautiful Rädhä has become deranged by the anxiety of separation. Sometimes her hair stands on end, sometimes she begins to gasp and sometimes she becomes startled. Sometimes she weeps out loud and at other times she trembles. Sometimes she meditates on you with rapt attention. She wanders throughout the places of your loving pastimes. When she is overwhelmed with confusion, she closes her eyes. Sometimes she falls to the ground. Then she stands up and prepares to go, but she suddenly faints and falls to the ground again. She is afflicted with sannipäta-jvara, a dangerous fever resulting from disorder of the bodily humours. If you are satisfied, kindly administer the medicine of rasämåta to counteract these violent transformations of passion. Then she may attain the treasure of her prana. Otherwise her hands will soon be motionless (she will die).” |
