CommentaryShri Rädhä said, “O Yadu-nandana, my face has defeated the lustre of a lotus flower. Please arrange the locks of hair falling over my charming, unblemished and perfect face. My disarrayed tresses may prompt others to pass joking comments. Or one might mistake my curls for a crowd of bumblebees who always land and rise upon a lotus flower. O Kṛṣṇa, you are the curling black lock upon the lotus of my face!” The similarity of Rädhä’s tresses to a formation of bumblebees supports the comparison of her face with a lotus flower. This is an example of utprekñä alaìkära. |
