\nR\u0101dh\u0101’s face is like a blossoming svarna-padma (golden lotus), and the curling hairs falling over her forehead resemble black bumble bees resting there. Moreover, her restless eyes could be mistaken for darting hummingbirds. Upon viewing R\u0101dh\u0101’s stunning beauty, Krishna smiles.
\nVerse 53
\nR\u0101dh\u0101rani interlocks her fingers, raises her arms, and stretches her entire body to relieve fatigue. As she yawns, a light-ray beams from her glistening teeth. Seeing R\u0101dh\u0101 in this position fascinates Krishna!<\/p>\n
\nBecause Radhika is clever, the sakhis call her Caturini Rai. In this pose, she nonchalantly shows off her beautiful kucha yugal (pair of brests) to increase Krishna’s captivation! As her teeth are slightly revealed, their sparkle illumines the nikunja bhavan. Thus, Krishna looks on-agape!
\nKrishnahnika-kaumudi adds that when R\u0101dh\u0101 and Krishna yawn-“a ray of peace” glistens from their teeth. Then with the help of their bright faces, the combined effulgence acts as Sri Yugala Kishor’s mangala arati.<\/p>\n
\nIn order to increase Krishna’s ananda, R\u0101dh\u0101 sits on his lap and glances at him with tired, rolling eyes! Her hair is slightly undone, her pushpa-mala is crushed, and her necklace of jewels dangles. But then, along with her feigned distress and dry pouting, she shows a tender smile which reveals her heart’s inner joy!
\nVerse 55
\nStill feeling fatigue from the previous night’s Kndarpa keli, R\u0101dh\u0101 relinquishes her soft creeper-like body unto Shyamasundar, who is dark like a tamala tree. If a streak of lightning could steadily rest within a newly formed rain cloud, such a scene might compare to the beauty of R\u0101dh\u0101 embracing Krishna.
\nVerse 56
\nKrishna’s eyes are tired and intoxicated, his body is covered with nail marks and smeared with black mascara, yet he smells like a fragrant lotus! Curling hairs decorate his forehead, plus mind-teasing dolphin earrings dance over his glossy cheeks, but herein lies a cunning sweet smile! Seeing Krishna’s face thus captivatingly displayed, padma-locana (lotus-eyed) R\u0101dh\u0101 again becomes pierced by Kamadeva’s arrows!
\nVerse 57
\nWhen Krishna’s glance falls over Srimati, she smiles and contracts her eyes due to shyness. Beholding R\u0101dh\u0101’s enticing sweetness, Krishna also succumbs to the temptation for resuming Ananga keli!
\nVerse 58
\nKrishna holds the base of R\u0101dh\u0101’s veni (braid of hair) with his left hand. Then placing his right hand on her chin, he raises her face to kiss R\u0101dh\u0101’s lovely smiling cheeks again and again!
\nVerse 59
\nR\u0101dh\u0101 slightly closes her eyes and submerges in an ananda-sagara from touching Krishna’s lips! Yet, with restless hands, she obstructs him-uttering na na in a soft, indistinct voice! This utterance gives great joy to the sakhis peeking through the windows.<\/p>\n
\nObtaining Krishna’s adhar-suddha-rasa (the sweet taste of his lips) satiates Shyama sohagini (the object of Shyamasundar’s affection. Sohagini is derived from saubhagini, or “most-fortunate one”) R\u0101dh\u0101. Yet, due to shyness and due to being a bama-nayika, she refutes Krishna, to increase his transcendental bliss! Although ashta-sattvic emotions cause Srimati’s words to falter, still her voice defeats the madhura pitch of the vina. Aho! Simply these two syllables, n\u0101, n\u0101, are so captivatingly uttered That Krishna becomes completely enthralled!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
