CommentaryShri Jayadeva again cites the previous song in a condensed form and adds that Kṛṣṇa gladly accomplished whatever Rädhä told him to do. The word api indicates that Kṛṣṇa attended to her decorations with immense affection exactly as she desired. Rädhä politely insisted, “O Yadu-nandana, please paint a row of leaves upon my breasts. Draw makara and other pictures on my cheeks. Put a sash around my hips. The previous garland has fallen from my hair. Weave my braid with another charming garland. Put bangles on my wrists and jewelled ankle-bells on my feet.” In great delight, Kṛṣṇa lovingly arranged all these decorations. How? Kṛṣṇa personally became all of Rädhä’s ornaments. This verse features hariëé chanda and saìkhya alaìkära. The heroine is pragalbhä näyikä and the hero is dakñiëa näyaka. The rasa is the saàyoga aspect of çåìgära-rasa. |
