CommentaryEncouraging Rädhä to embark on her way to meet Kṛṣṇa, the sakhé says, “O young woman with excellent broad hips! Your pace is already slowed down by the weight of your hips, so now there is no need to pro crastinate any further and be late for your tryst. Go swiftly so that you will reach the appointed meeting place shortly after Kṛṣṇa’s arrival. Therein you will find the essence of sensual euphoria. The owner of your heart, Vanamälé Kṛṣṇa, dressed like Madana, has already arrived and he is anxiously looking out for your arrival.” What is the speciality of that meeting place? “There is a vetasé forest on the bank of Yamunä, where the slowly drifting air has almost become stationary. Though the forest is dense and isolated, this gentle breeze is so pleasant at the time of lovemaking. Kṛṣṇa is dressed for love and he has gone for abhisära.” To set out for a rendezvous on a moonlit night, after decorating and dressing appropriately for the occasion, is called abhisära. “Without the slightest delay, go at once and meet with Vanamälé in that secluded forest bower.” |
