Commentary(4) Mälaté puñpa-bäëa – The flower garland adorning Rädhä’s hair had withered and fallen because the arrangement of her hair was repeatedly crushed during their love-games. Therefore this wilted garland is the jasmine flower arrow. (5) Kusumästra-bäëa- Rädhä’s sash and upper cloth had become slack. They are Kämadeva’s golden arrows such as the bauhinia flower. Kṛṣṇa’s mind was naturally pierced on beholding Rädhä. Her limbs are the embodiment of the powerful arrows of Cupid, which entered Kṛṣṇa’s heart through the pathway of his eyes. This verse is a specific sub-section entitled Kämädbhutäbhinava-mågäìkalekha. The chanda is çärdüla-vikréòita and the rasa is adbhuta-rasopabåàhita çåìgära. |
