CommentaryShri Rädhä passed the entire night in lamentation. As she watched the moon moving in the direction of Mount Asta on the western horizon, she remembered Kṛṣṇa’s previous affection for her. Confiding in her friend, Rädhä said, “O sakhi, how painful it is. The moon increases the distress of those who are suffering from loneliness. Now, because the moon is setting, so is the burning of my amorous desires. I remember the lotus face of Shri Hari when I see the pale complexion of the setting moon. How languid he must have become inseparation from me.” Then, at the very next moment, she draws the opposite conclusion. “Shri Hari has abandoned me and he is enjoying pastimes with another lover. There fore his lustre resembles the setting moon and the pain in my heart has become even deeper.” |
