Translation

Kṛṣṇa was absorbed in thoughts of Rädhä. In the meantime, the moon enhanced the beauty of Våndävana with his gentle rays. The moon appeared like a drop of sandalwood paste on the lotus face of a beautiful newly married woman in the form of the eastern direction. His limbs bore a stain like the mark of tuberculosis on an unchaste woman when she strays from the path of social etiquette.
