rati-sukha-säre gatam abhisäre madana-manohara-veñam na kuru nitambini gamana-vilambanam anusara taà hådayeçam dhéra-samére yamunä-tére vasati vane vanamälé péna-payodhara-parisara-mardana-caïcala-kara-yuga-çälé Translation “Vanamälé Kṛṣṇa is adorned with a garland of forest flowers and his hands are always restless to inflict pain upon the gopés’ breasts. He is currently waiting in a forest bower on the gentle Malaya-windswept shore of the Yamunä. O young woman with voluptuous hips, Kṛṣṇa is waiting in the appointed meeting place, which is a perfect setting for lovemaking. He is dressed in the most fascinating attire, exactly like the god of sensuality. Go and meet with the darling of your heart at once. You should not delay any longer.”
