Gita Govinda -Jayadeva 473

Herein Shri Jayadeva has investigated the ever-increasing ecstasy of Shri Kṛṣṇa. This song, entitled Madhuripu-moda-vidyädhara-lélä, delights Shri Kṛṣṇa because it expands the mood of rati-rasa and exposes the eroticism of union. The incomparable nature and pre-eminence of çåìgära-rasa is accepted unanimously amongst the expert devotees.

“May this song awaken the fascinating joy of the erotic mellow in the hearts of connoisseurs of spiritual love.”
