Scene Fifteen : Song 15 : Verse 23
CommentaryCommenting on Kṛṣṇa’s sport of decorating his beloved, Shri Rädhä tells her sakhé, “He has not only drawn tilaka upon her forehead, he has also adorned her hair with rose laurel flowers. Her hair is so black, soft, curly and abundant that it resembles a multitude of rainclouds. Or it seems to be a dense forest wherein the deer called Kämadeva can wander without fear. The hearts of young men become restless simply by seeing these locks of hair. The rose laurel flowers arranged in her hair by Shri Hari are shining brilliantly like lightning in the dark clouds.” |
