The Dextrous Divinity
Scene Fourteen : Song 14 : Verse 14
Translation“When Kṛṣṇa deeply embraces her, she becomes bewildered by sensual agitation. She must be experiencing the bodily transformations beginning with the thrill of every pore of her skin and her necklace must be swinging to and fro on her waterpot-like breasts.” CommentaryShri Rädhä conjectures about the activities of her attractive rival. Painting a vivid picture of her behaviour, she says, “That young woman must have felt the upsurge of various passionate bodily transformations such as horripilation arising from the embrace of Shri Kṛṣṇa. Her necklace must be swinging upon her raised waterpot-like breasts.” A necklace will be restless when a woman plays the active role in lovemaking. In other words, it is only possible during viparéta-rati. |
