Translation

Rädhä is the exclusive object of Kṛṣṇa’s ever-increasing attachment. He has cherished the desire to enjoy amorous pastimes with her for a long time. He blooms with jubilation on beholding her face and he thrills with various ecstatic transformations of passionate love. Rädhä saw how Kṛṣṇa, the ocean of erotic mellows, was manifesting amatory attachment through his suggestive expressions and posture, just as the ocean becomes turbulent with high waves upon seeing the orb of the full moon.
