CommentaryRädhä’s friend tried to make her understand the situation so that she would lighten up, but Rädhä’s fury did not wane. In the meantime, the day was drawing to a close. Now Rädhä lets out long sighs in the pain of separation. Her lotus face looks dejected. After trying all possible methods to alleviate Rädhä’s obstinacy, her friend has fallen silent. Rädhä feels the perplexity of love. She has just neglected Kṛṣṇa, so how can she suddenly about-face and desire his company? This is her dilemma. Therefore she is looking shyly in the direction of her sakhé. Depression has cast a shadow. Kṛṣṇa thought that Shri Rädhä must be feeling regretful by this time in the evening. “Let me go to her at once. I will accept all her accusations and, keeping them in mind, I will beg for forgiveness.” Then he approached Rädhä and, blooming with joy, he began to plead with her in a voice choked with loving emotions. |
