The Blissful Cowherd Boy

Scene Twenty One : Song 21 : Verse 22

tväà cittena ciraà vahann ayam ati-çränto bhåçaà täpitaù kandarpeëa ca pätum icchati sudhä-sambädha-bimbädharam asyäìkaà tad alaìkuru kñaëam iha bhrü-kñepa-lakñmé-lavakréte däsa ivopasevita-padämbhoje kutaù sambhramaù Translation “O ravishing beauty, Shri Kṛṣṇa is present before you. He is exhausted from holding you in the core of his heart for a long time while burning in the heat of amorous desire. He ardently longs to drink the sweet nectar of your bimba-fruit lips. Go and adorn the chest of your eager lover. He is ever grateful to receive the vast opulence of your sidelong glance, even for a fraction of a second. Like a purchased slave, he has become the servant of your lotus feet merely for the price of your sidelong glance. So why are you hesitating? Why are you embarrassed?”
