“O my dear friend, the mango trees in the forest groves of Våndävana are covered with freshly sprouted buds because they are thrilled by the embrace of the restless mädhavé creepers. ShriHari is affectionately playing with young women in the pure water of the Yamunä that flows alongside those forest groves.” Commentary“In springtime, even inert substances become agitated by lust. Impelled by the breeze, the spring-flower vine caresses the mango tree, causing it to thrill with horripilation in the form of new buds. The Yamunä flows nearby, purifying the groves of Våndävana where Shri Hari is enjoying amorous pastimes.” |
