Vyaktänurägam iva – The loving attachment (anuräga) previously hidden within his heart has become clearly manifest. It has manifested its colour outwardly so his heart cannot be smeared by the love of anyone else. Khelad-anaìga-kheda-svedämbu-puram – Droplets of perspiration on Kṛṣṇa’s broad chest tell of his exhaustion from prolonged engagement in the sports of Cupid. Thus the love within his heart has become visible, disguised as a mixture of her vermillion and his perspiration. Anupurayatu priyaà vaù – “May Kṛṣṇa’s vermillion-coloured chest fulfil our most cherished desires by increasing the divine love in our hearts.” This verse has been sung in vasanta räga, alluding to the nature of Bhagavän in springtime. The heroine is mugdhä näyikä and the hero is kuçala näyaka. Here we find vasanta-tilakä chanda. The alaìkäras include äçéù, utprekñä and anupräsa. The rasa is çåìgära.
