Translation

“As soon as Rädhä is enthused about embarking on a lover’s journey and begins to make the appropriate arrangements, she takes a few steps and falls down.”

Commentary

“Rädhä impetuously stands up to decorate and prepare herself for abhisära, but she is so enfeebled in the wake of separation that after taking a few steps, she falls helplessly to the ground unconscious.”
