Gita Govinda -Jayadeva 459

When Rädhä approached the bed for love-games in the chamber of the grove, her sakhés considered themselves to be obstacles and made various excuses to leave. Kṛṣṇa saw that Rädhä had become excruciatingly shy at heart. By the influence of käma, a gentle smile was playing on her lips and she was looking in the direction of the bed of new leaves. She was unable to say anything. Her mind was full of unquenchable desire and the fresh flower bed was the embodiment of her exclusive intention. Seeing Rädhä’s disposition, Kṛṣṇa spoke to her with ever-increasing affection.
