Act Five : äkäìkña puëòarékäkñaù

Longing Lotus Eyes

Scene Eleven : Song 11 : Verse 16

vikirati muhuù çväsän äçäù puro muhur ékñate praviçati muhuù kuïjaà guïjan muhur bahu tämyati racayati muhuù çayyäà paryäkulaà muhur ékñate madana-kadana-kläntaù känte priyas tava vartate Translation “O impassioned woman, your beloved Kṛṣṇa is waiting for you in the hidden chamber of a kuïja and he is burning with amorous desire. He draws long breaths and looks around with startled eyes. Repeatedly lamenting in indistinct words, he comes out of the bower of flowering vines and then returns again feeling disappointed. Then he continues to arrange and rearrange the flower bed and glance towards the path of your expected arrival.”
