Translation“When Rädhä returns to external consciousness and realizes that you have still not arrived, she loses all bashfulness and begins to weep out loud.” CommentaryRädhä is portrayed here as väsakasajjä näyikä. When she realizes, “I have not embraced Kṛṣṇa and I am not kissing him. This is just the dense darkness,” she becomes ashamed of her behaviour and begins to weep. Her deranged condition is such that she mistakes the nearby expanse of darkness to be her dearest beloved because of its colour. Then she begins to lament, “Why has my most beloved one not come by now?” Väsakasajjä – The väsakasajjä näyikä is a heroine who arrives at the appointed grove and waits for her hero with intense eagerness. She personally decorates the grove, makes a flower bed and sends messengers to the hero. |
