Translation

The heart of the great poet Shri Jayadeva Gosvämé is like a mansion, beautifully decorated with pictures of the activities of Shri Kṛṣṇa, the predominating deity of speech. He is incessantly immersed in greed to attain the lotus feet of Shri Rädhä. By describing Shri Kṛṣṇa’s amorous pastimes in the forest bowers, he has created a tremendous upsurge of the brilliant romantic rasa within those devotees who accept only pure sentiments of ecstatic love.
