CommentaryThe sakhé says to Rädhä, “O fortunate one, the nails of your soft, charming hands are Kämadeva’s five flower arrows. Catch the hand of your sakhé with these hands and gracefully be on your way, ornamented with many pronounced ecstatic emotions such as häva-bhäva. Your enchanting nails are as piercing as the arrows of passionate desire. They are your weapons in this love-battle. Kṛṣṇa is under the control of Kämadeva and he is waiting just for you. As a warrior first informs his adversary that he is on the warpath, you should also make Kṛṣṇa aware of your arrival by the tinkle of your bangles. He is occupied in preparing himself. He wants to fulfil the hankering of his heart. Inform him that you are ready and determined for a love-battle.” |
