Even so, I still continue to remember him within the core of my heart. He fills the flute in his lotus hands with a transformation of the nectar of his lips by blowing and producing a sweet expressive melody. Wishful glances from the corners of his eyes make his jewelled head-dress quiver and his earrings dangle near his cheeks. I repeatedly remember his attractive dark complexion, his laughter and his humorous behaviour.” Commentary Rädhä’s friend said, “Dear Rädhikä, Kṛṣṇa has neglected you, so why do you love him so much that you are losing your composure?”
