CommentaryAfter feeling the pain of separation for such a long time, when Rädhä finally met with Kṛṣṇa, her jubilation could not remain still, so it began to overflow from her eyes. Her extraordinarily large eyes seemed to be dripping with perspiration from relishing the taste of love-play. Alternatively, her eyes tried to surpass the position of a sidelong glance and arrive at her ears. It was as if the perspiration, arising from the hard endeavour of her eyes, had begun to flow like a stream of water in the form of tears of joy. Rädhä’s eyes were also excessively restless due to her intense hankering to see Kṛṣṇa. This verse, which reveals Rädhä’s sättvika-bhäva, features upamä alaìkära and çikhariëé chanda. |
