Gita Govinda -Jayadeva 240

He is the bumblebee who drinks the honey of Rädhä’s lotus face. He is the sapphire ornament of Våndävana, which is itself the crest-jewel of the three worlds. Like nightfall, he is naturally competent to satisfy the beautiful dairy maidens of Vraja. He annihilates the aggressive empiricists who overburden the earth. He is like the star Dhümaketu, foreboding destruction for Kaàsa. May that Shri Kṛṣṇa, the son of Devaké, protect you all.
