CommentaryKṛṣṇa says, “Rädhä, your eyes naturally resemble blue lotus flowers. You are expert in colouring your eyes with the redness of ever-fresh and increasing anuräga. If you were to accept me on the strength of this quality, then my life would be a grand success. But now your eyes have abandoned their nature and assumed the colour of a red lotus. This is your science of dyeing (anuraïjiné-vidyä). You are clearly proficient in making dark coloured substances become red. “Therefore, if you were to pierce me with arrows of amorous desire in the form of your sidelong glance, I would consider your knowledge befittingly employed. Rädhä, give up your anger and make love to me. Just become absorbed in the sport of sensuality (käma-kréòä). This is natural for you.” |
