The Audacious Autocrat
Scene Twelve : Song 12 : Verse 10
CommentaryPainting a picture of Rädhä’s insane craving for union (premonmäda), the sakhé says, “O cunning cheater! You treacherous rogue! The doe-eyed Rädhikä is absorbed in a state of meditation as she sinks into the love-ocean of embracing and uniting with you. It seems to her that you are holding her in an embrace. Therefore every pore of her skin is thrilled with intense pleasure. She suddenly draws her breath and murmurs indistinctly as she becomes almost senseless. When the impetuous frenzy of her internal käma subsides, she sinks into the ocean of bliss.” This verse features mäliné chanda and rasavad alaìkära. |
