CommentaryIn the flower pavilion, Rädhä beheld Kṛṣṇa with excessive affection. She saw his unique and manifold virtues. All of Kṛṣṇa’s specialities are related to Rädhä. Shri Hari is referred to as eka-rasa. The purport is that one rasa, the amorous mellow (çåìgära), has made itself prominent and that Kṛṣṇa is brimming with many aspects of that one rasa. Ever-fresh attachment for Rädhä is surging within him because he has cherished the desire to enjoy intimate pastimes with her for such a long time. Rädhä’s presence in the pastime bower is the all in all of his life. Kṛṣṇa was overwhelmed with happiness simply by seeing her. He broke out into many sättvika transformations such as trembling and horripilation. On seeing Rädhä’s face, which appeared to be the abode of Kämadeva, Kṛṣṇa’s face lit up with jubilation. He wanted to fulfil his desire for union. Rädhä’s face is the full moon, upon seeing which the Kṛṣṇa-ocean becomes turbulent and heaves with towering waves. Rädhä noticed that as soon as Kṛṣṇa saw her, he began to manifest many kinds of amatory emotions. |
