Commentary“Attaining you means everything to Kṛṣṇa.” Alluding to this, the sakhé tells Rädhä, “O stunningly beautiful one, when you set out from here, you will proceed with great caution as you walk upon that dark path through the dense darkness. It is only natural to be afraid in the dark. By chance, someone might see you, so it is also natural to be alarmed. ‘I am actually going to the trysting place to meet with Kṛṣṇa in complete darkness.’ This will be astonishing for you, and at the same time, you will also doubt, ‘When I arrive there, will I meet with Kṛṣṇa or not?’ Your body quickly tires from the heavy burden of your breasts and hips. You become too languid to walk quickly, so stop and wait beneath every tree before going on. Kṛṣṇa will consider his life successful when he sees you arrive at the appointed meeting place in this enfeebled condition, with the waves of Anaìga playing on your body. Then he will begin to plunge into the turbulent waves of excitement.” This verse is embellished by the alaìkära called atiçayokti. The chanda is hariëé. |
