kim iti viñédasi rodiñi vikalä vihasati yuvati-sabhä tava sakalä mädhave Translation “Why are you so overwhelmed with lamentation? Why are you weeping? Your youthful rivals are delighted to see your ‘alluring gestures’.” Commentary After hearing the advice of her companion, Rädhä is still sobbing. The sakhé says, “Rädhä, why are you upset now? Why are you crying? Seeing your method of seduction, your rivals are mocking you. How foolish you are. Shri Hari is rolling on the ground at your feet and you just go on crying.”
