The Blissful Cowherd Boy
Scene Twenty One : Song 21 : Verse 20
madhuratara-pika-nikara-ninada-mukhare Translation“O Rädhä, your teeth are like rubies or fully ripened pomegranate seeds. Enter this pavilion of flowering vines. It resounds with the sweet cooing of a flock of cuckoos. Go close to Mädhava and enjoy with him.” CommentaryThe sakhé urges, “O Rädhä, your teeth sparkle with the lustre of ruby-like jewels (çikhara). This nikuïja already resounds with the sweet low tone of warbling cuckoos. Accompany them as you revel to your heart’s content with Shri Kṛṣṇa. No one will hear you.” |
