vasati vipina-vitäne tyajati lalita-dhäma luöhati dharaëi-çayane bahu vilapati tava näma sakhi! sédati tava virahe Translation “He has abandoned his own charming bed chamber to reside in the forest. Instead of living comfortably at home, he rolls about on the ground, repeatedly calling out your name, ‘Rädhä! Rädhä!’” Commentary The sakhé says, “Rädhä, in separation from you, Shri Kṛṣṇa has given up resid ence in his own delightful abode. He prefers to stay under the canopy of the jungle. He no longer sleeps on a bed. He lies on the ground where he spends the whole night rolling about and calling your name, ‘Rädhä! Rädhä!’”
