CommentaryThereafter, the sakhé sprinkled the refreshing water of Kṛṣṇa’s qualities upon Rädhä to bring her back to consciousness. Then she began to describe Rädhä as a heroine who embarks on a journey to meet with her lover (abhisärikä näyikä). She wants to please Rädhä by convincing her that Mädhava’s heart seeks refuge in her alone. “O Rädhä, in Cupid’s sacred abode, a secluded grove, Mädhava attained the great mystic powers of käma, such as the nectar of kissing and embracing you. He desires to attain those same siddhis again today. “The firm embrace of your pitcher-like breasts is nectar and the water of that sacred pilgrimage place (mahä-tértha) is also nectar. He is staying in Kämadeva’s mahä-tértha, meditating on your form and qualities. “Day and night he utters the mantra of his bygone romantic conversations with you. A mystic perfection is only attained by chanting a mantra and meditating in a secluded place before a deity. Kṛṣṇa wants to attain kämasiddhi in your presence in the form of your satisfaction in the käma-tértha of the secluded forest groves. You are the deity of the pleasure grove. Your amorous repartee has become the mantra to attain käma-siddhi. By this mantra, he wants to attain ambrosia in the form of tightly embracing your highly protruding pitcher-like breasts.” This verse features çärdüla-vikréòita chanda and kävyaliìga alaìkära. |
