Commentary“O Rädhä, kindly utter pleasant and alluring words that excite passion. Your face resembles the moon. As nectar emanates from the moon, rain streams of nectar upon me from your moon like face by sweetly conversing about our sexual games. I have been suffering in separation from you.” According to the principle of correlation between the subject and object of a simile, it is equally valid to say, “I remove the separation that is like a fine cloth,” or, “I remove the fine cloth that is like separation.” “As separation obstructs our union, the fine cloth upon your breasts also impedes our meeting. Therefore allow me to remove this barrier. This fine cloth encloses your breasts. The breasts of passionate women do not flourish at the time of separation. Similarly, breasts do not flourish when covered by a garment, so I will remove the covering of separation that checks the radiance of your bosom.” |
