Gita Govinda -Jayadeva 501

Shri Rädhä says, “O virtuous one, my heart’s delight! Your lotus hands are the abode of all good fortune. Your heart, being full of rasa, is the root of all auspiciousness. Please decorate the slope of my hips with a jewelled girdle, garment and ornaments. My loins are full of rasa, soft and voluptuous. They are exquisite and alluring like a cave because they are the abode of the madly impassioned elephant, Kämadeva. Please dress them with garments and ornaments. Actually, you are the ornament of my loins.”

In this song the hero is anuküla näyaka, the heroine is pragalbhä näyikä and the rasa is sambhoga-çåìgära.
