Translation

“Rädhä is afflicted with the high fever of unre strained passion. How astonishing it is that she burns as soon as she thinks of the remedies for a high temperature such as sandalwood, moonshine and lotus flowers. Alas! Her body has become feeble and cold from fatigue. As she meditates exclusively on you in a secluded place, she somehow stays alive for a few moments more.”
