CommentaryRädhä was overwhelmed with fatigue from the incessant thrusts of lovemaking. As soon as morning came, she quickly began to cover her limbs out of embarrassment. As she was covering herself, she looked at Kṛṣṇa and captivated his heart with her tender feminine beauty. The braid of her hair was open and her curling locks hung down on both sides. When the perspiration dried on her cheeks, it left behind many stains. The lustre of her bimba-fruit lips had become dim. The splendour of her necklace had become hopeless before the radiance of her round waterpot-breasts. In the absence of her bodice, her necklace seemed pale and the lustre of the sash about her hips also faded against the background of her naked beauty. Appropriately, the chanda of this verse is sragdharä. |
