The Blissful Cowherd Boy
Scene Twenty One : Song 21 : Verse 19
madhu-mudita-madhupa-kula-kalita-räve Translation“You feel an ever-increasing thirst for the erotic mellow. Enter this flower chamber. It resounds with the humming of bumblebees maddened from drinking honey. Approach Mädhava and enjoy pastimes with him.” Commentary“You have been surcharged with sensuality by Kämadeva. Intoxicated bumblebees attain the greatest happiness during the spring season. They hum in bliss as they taste the rasa of the flowers in this grove. You should also enter and taste prema-rasa. This is a place of immense joy. It is the auspicious gate to intimate loving union. Go inside. Rädhä, just enter the grove!” |
