The Audacious Autocrat

Scene Twelve : Song 12 : Verse 11

aìgeñv äbharaëaà karoti bahuçaù patre ’pi saïcäriëi präptaà tväà pariçaìkate vitanute çayyäà ciraà dhyäyati ity äkalpa-vikalpa-talpa-racanä-saìkalpa-lélä-çatavyäsaktäpi vinä tvayä vara-tanur naiñä niçäà neñyati Translation “The limbs of Çré Rädhä’s body are incomparably attractive. She decorates them with ornaments many times. When leaves rustle, she is filled with expectation, thinking, ‘Oh, you have come.’ She makes a soft bed for you and when you are late she feels acute pain. Thus, although she is occupied in various pastimes such as decorating herself, feeling apprehension, making the bed, speaking loving words and fixing her resolve, she still cannot pass this night in separation from you.”
