The Four-armed Flatterer
Scene Nineteen : Song 19 : Verse 3
CommentaryTo pacify Rädhä, Kṛṣṇa says, “My dearest Rädhä, whose teeth shine so brightly, do not be angry with me. If you really want to express your anger against me, then strike me with the sharp arrows of your eyes. And if your anger is still not pacified, then punish me even more. Bind me in the ropes of your arms and imprison me. If you are still not satisfied, then injure my body by biting me with your teeth. And if you are still not satisfied, then just do whatever you feel is appropriate. I am fit to be rebuked and worthy of punishment. You may arrange any type of punishment for me for the sake of your own happiness.” Kṛṣṇa is ardently requesting Rädhä to scratch, embrace and kiss him, on the pretext of punishing him by striking, binding and biting. |
