CommentaryThe sakhé says, “Rädhä, what are you thinking about? Now what more evidence do you need? If you do not believe me, then ask your own breasts, which are just like waterpots bearing the stream of your enchanting necklace. Indeed, what is the cause of their quivering? They are trembling under the control of the waves of Kämadeva to indicate the imminent embrace of your lover. Shri Hari will be carried along by the powerful current of rasa from your breasts, only to be immersed in the ocean of prema. They are full of intense hankering for the touch of Shri Hari’s lotus hands. The immaculate, enchanting necklace upon the auspicious pitchers of your breasts is like a stream of pure and sparkling water. This stream is full of waves; an indication that you will attain your beloved. Erotic desire makes your breasts quiver and thus they have become an omen of auspiciousness. Do not think this käma is a curse and delay even more. Go quickly.” |
