Commentary

Complimentary – “Vanamälé Kṛṣṇa’s face shines with romantic expressions like a lotus in full bloom as he gives joy to his mistress. How could she know about the pain inflicted by Cupid’s arrows? There is no question of that lover feeling the distress of käma’s arrows as I am in separation. How my heart has been torn apart.”

Critical- “Kṛṣṇa is averse to love-play. He is preoccupied with laughing and joking. This gopé cannot enjoy amorous pastimes with him because his charming face just goes on laughing and joking. Is she not suffering from Cupid’s arrows? She certainly is.”
