CommentaryBeset with doubt, Rädhikä is pondering over possible reasons why Shri Kṛṣṇa has not come. “Oh, what could be the cause of his absence?” Presenting her suspicions, Rädhä says, “This charming chamber of vetasa creepers was the appointed meeting place for us both, so what has become of him? Why is he not here? Did he go to meet with another heroine? How could his thirst for me be less than for her? How could he abandon me in a place like this to enjoy loving pastimes with someone else? It is not possible. Did his sportive and artful friends stop him from coming here by detaining him in the playing field? This is also not feasible. How could he forget the time for abhisära? It seems that the crest-jewel of cunning tricksters cannot find me in this dense darkness, so he may still be searching for me. But how many times has he come to this forest to meet me? The path is well-known to him, so how could he forget the way? It is impossible. Could he be languishing so much in separation that he is unable to walk? Perhaps he is worrying, ‘How will Rädhä feel after the moon has risen?’” This verse features çärdüla-vikréòita chanda and the alaìkära called saàçaya. |
