Act Eleven : sänanda govindaù
The Blissful Cowherd Boy
Scene Twenty : Song 20 : Verse 3
Commentary“O Rädhä, your cumbersome hips and large breasts cause you to stoop. Go gently. Your slow, rhythmical motion embarrasses the movement of swans. Be graciously present in the love chamber of charming arbour. Take steps in such a way that the musical sound of your jewelled ankle-bells may arouse the passionate rasa. “O guileless one, place your unsteady feet upon the earth. Defeat the gait of a swan. Go now to the side of Madhusüdana. Do not delay. Make these jewelled ankle-bells resound.” |
