CommentaryKṛṣṇa continued to plead with Rädhä until late into the day. Finally, Rädhä became pleased with him and he confidently set off to prepare a play-bed in the chamber of a nikuïja. The doe-eyed Rädhä was shining with joy. When her dejection and despair disappeared without a trace, jubilation pervaded the ecstatic emotions overflowing in her doe-like eyes and her heart began to swell with elation. She covered herself with a blue garment to conceal her movements through the forest and she decorated herself with fascinating ornaments that would also pass unseen by others. To intensify Rädhä’s eagerness to meet with Kṛṣṇa, her friend remarked emphatically, “Rädhä! Now do you believe that Madhusüdana adores you or not?” The word pradoña indicates that night is falling. At this time, nothing is clearly visible. The chanda of the present verse is mäliné. |
