Verse 12
“O Keçava, in separation from you, Rädhä looks upon the moist, smooth sandalwood paste smeared on her body as if it were poison and she becomes afraid.” Commentary“Although Malaya sandalwood paste is smooth and refreshing, she feels as if she were besmeared with poison. In the agony of her loneliness, sandalwood ointment is far from pleasing; it is positively distressful.” |
