CommentaryThe sakhé says, “O Rädhä, the appropriate time for abhisära has come because it is dark. Abhisärikä heroines meet their lovers in the dark. So set off for that secret forest grove in the darkness. My dear friend, remove these ankle-bells. They are your enemies because they are so restless. They inform others by making a noise wherever you walk and they also become talkative during your love-play. Like enemies, they open their mouths without understanding the nature of the occasion. These ankle-bells are unfavourable for the attainment of your desired perfection. Now put on your blue clothes. The veil of this blue garment will make your fair complexion become one with the darkness (or one with Çyäma) and conceal your journey.” |
