CommentaryKṛṣṇa reasons with his beloved Rädhä, “Why has this apprehension uselessly arisen within your heart? Do not accuse me of associating with another young mistress. My heart and mind are so overpowered by the weight of your waterpot-like breasts and your heavy hips that I have no opportunity even to remember anyone else. Your love has invaded and completely pervaded my heart, so there is not even the slightest room left for another mistress. How can anyone else enter my mind? Because you reside there, no one has the good fortune to enter except for Cupid. My beloved Rädhä, now abandon your mäna so that I may embrace your round breasts. Make me your servant and grant me the permission to do just that.” This verse features the chanda called hariëé and the alaìkära called kävyaliìga. Rädhä is prauòhä näyikä and Kṛṣṇa is pragalbhä näyaka. |
