Gita Govinda -Shri Jayadeva Gosvami
Act Seven : nägara näräyaëaù
The Dextrous Divinity
Scene Fourteen : Song 14 : Verse 17
Translation“When beloved Kṛṣṇa glances upon her, she becomes embarrassed and laughs shyly. And when she tastes the mellows of coition, she must be making an inarticulate sound resembling the warbling of birds like the cuckoo or kalahaàsa, indicating that she is experiencing a sudden surge of erotic euphoria.” Commentary“When Shri Kṛṣṇa is satisfied, he will look towards her. Then she will lower her face in shame and begin to chuckle. As she gasps for breath in the throes of excessive sensual ecstasy, she must be making many different types of sweet inarticulate sounds like the cuckoo or kalahaàsa bird.” |
