CommentaryWhen Rädhä entered the chamber, Kṛṣṇa’s eyes became restless. When she saw his charming face with its mild smile, the desire to engage in amorous pastimes awakened in her heart. Kṛṣṇa’s smiling face resembled a fully blossomed autumnal lotus flower upon which sported the two wagtail birds of his restless eyes. On beholding Rädhä, Kṛṣṇa became motionless. Therefore he has been compared to an autumnal lake. In this verse the restlessness of his eyes reveals his thirst for lovemaking. The casting of his sidelong glance arouses Rädhä’s passion. The word kamalodara also alludes to a specific coital position called padmäsana. His enchanting face awakens the desire for such union in young women.
