CommentaryShri Jayadeva is describing the sweet artistry of Géta-govinda. This poem is an auspicious eulogy of the essence of the most brilliant çåìgära-rasa. Its sweet- ness is so unparalleled that all other substances in the world have become insipid in its presence. No other sweet substance can administer sweetness to the learned devotees. Shri Jayadeva’s clever words are auspiciousness personified. The concentrated essence of everything is the romantic sentiment (çåìgära-rasa), and Gétagovinda is the essence of that. Rädhä and Kṛṣṇa’s auspicious adventures are the exclusive embodiment of good fortune and welfare. For the expert devotees of the Supreme Lord, there is no astonishingly sweet taste available anywhere like the rasa of Géta-govinda. All the sweetness in the entire world combined together in one place has become tasteless in the presence of this poetry. |
