CommentaryThrough indirect suggestions, Kṛṣṇa is praying to Rädhä and begging her to unite with him in love-games. “May our auspicious käma-keli begin. Give up your shyness. You are ready for the game of sensual love. Before making love it is necessary to perform the ritual establishment of full waterpots. May this jewelled necklace enhance the beauty of your pitcher-shaped breasts when it swings to and fro. May the sash of bells encircling the broad centre of your voluptuous hips announce the order of Kämadeva’s rising ambitions by resounding with a sweet kiëa-kiëa sound as we make love. The order is, ‘May all men and women, who are intent upon love-play during this intoxicating spring season, be immersed in amorous activities. All contrary women – give up your resistance and enthusiastically contest in the erotic sports.’” |
