The Dextrous Divinity

sakala-bhuvana-jana-vara-taruëena vahati na sä rujam ati-karuëena sakhi! yä ramitä Translation “Kṛṣṇa is the best of all the young men in the entire universe. His charming, youthful form is lustrous. The heroine who is now enjoying love with him does not feel the dreadful pain of separation in the core of her heart because he is exceedingly compassionate.” Commentary Complimentary – “Amongst all the tender young men throughout the various planetary systems, Kṛṣṇa most abundantly exudes the joys of youth. He is the most handsome and the best amongst fresh adolescent performers of drama and dance. He is an ocean of mercy. The beautiful young woman he satisfies will not descend into a wretched condition and become utterly listless like me.” Critical – “That attractive young mistress enjoys love with the best young mein in the universe. She must feel pain when she is separated from any one of them.”
