mågamada-rasa-valitaà lalitaà kuru tilakam a alika-rajané-kare Translation“O lotus-faced one, the perspiration from our vigorous lovemaking has now dried, staining my forehead like the deer-shaped mark upon the moon. Please draw a beautiful tilaka with this captivating musk upon the half-moon of my forehead.” CommentaryAs with the previous verses, this verse also reveals a specific excitant (uddépanavibhäva) of the permanent ecstatic emotion. Rädhä’s inner feeling is, “O Kṛṣṇa, you are the central point of my good fortune – you are the tilaka on my forehead!” |
