Nishanta lila Verse 61-70<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Krishna displays the rati-chinas on his chest to the sakhis<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Verse 61
\nThereafter, Sri Radhika devi sees the sakhis approaching with their beautiful faces enhanced with wide smiles and restless roaming eyes. Then she removes herself from Krishna’s lap to increase his ananda two fold!<\/p>\n

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
\nOvertaken by surprise and intoxicated in Shyama-nagara’s rasamaya sanga, Premamayi-R\u0101dh\u0101 cannot understand why are sakhis brightly smiling. But then as she looks upon each approaching sakhi with wonder, she fathoms the reason. Thus she removes herself from Krishna’s lap.<\/p>\n

Verse 62
\nFeeling embarrassed, R\u0101dh\u0101 quickly takes up Krishna’s yellow chador to cover herself. Then while sitting on Krishna’s left side, she regains her gravity and pensively glances toward the sakhis!
\nVerse 63
\nThe sakhis delightedly observe: “Our unclad Rasika yugala are covered with nail marks, their lips are bruised and they are drowsy due to the fatigue of prema keli! Moreover, their hair is scattered as their necklaces and pushpa malas lie astrewn!” All this makes the sakhis blush!
\nVerse 64
\nThe middle of the flower bed is blotted with thick blotches of Krishna’s kunkum and on either side there are drops of R\u0101dh\u0101’s vermilion, mascara, chandan, and the red-alta from the bottom of her feet. Hence the bed bears witness to a special kind of love sporting!<\/p>\n

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
\nSri Yadunandan Thakur’s padya translation defines this special love sporting as viporit keli. At such times Surata-rangini “the sporting mistress of kandarpa keli” R\u0101dh\u0101 takes the dominating role to satiate Krishna’s desires (up to the point of his fainting) !<\/p>\n

Verse 65
\nTo the sakhis, the bed, with its wilted flowers, pan stains, and smudges of various bodily ointments, all resemble R\u0101dh\u0101, since these same symptoms appear on her body also.
\nVerse 66
\nThey drink in the beauty of Krishna’s lips, which are about to utter some joking words, and seeing Sri Radhika’s lotus face, which is lowered from shyness.
\nVerse 67
\nKnowing the sakhis’ minds and desiring to see<\/strong> the sweetness of R\u0101dh\u0101’s confused emotions, Krishna openly displays his chest and says with a grin:
\nVerse 68
\n“Hey sakhis! Look! With the morning’s arrival, the star named R\u0101dh\u0101 became fearful on seeing her beloved kanta, the moon, disappearing! So, out of a desire to keep on seeing him, she scratched hundreds of moon marks onto the canvas of the sky!”<\/p>\n

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
\nThe inner meaning to this last verse is, “O sakhis! Just see how R\u0101dh\u0101 has scratched her beloved’s chest, making hundreds of nail marks in her anxiety to delay his early morning departure!” And saying this, Krishna shows everyone the marks she has made on his chest.<\/p>\n

Verse 69
\nHearing Krishna’s words and seeing the sakhis laughing, R\u0101dh\u0101’s unblemished cheeks light up like a blooming flower. Her restless eyes align with her dancing eyebrows to catapult a crooked sidelong glance meant to strike Krishna’s heart!
\nVerse 70
\nR\u0101dh\u0101’s eyes are slightly closed, filled with tears and red around the borders. They convey shyness, fear, restlessness, crookedness, jealousy, anger, wonder and the thirst for amour! Submerged in extreme rapture due to being fixed on Madhava’s lotus face, R\u0101dh\u0101’s intriguing eyes deliver paramananda to her Nagara nilamani!<\/p>\n

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
\nThese passages invoke meditation. As Srila Kaviraj Goswami’s pen merges with Sri Sri Yugala Kishor’s prema-sindhu, this bhavadhara (wave of emotions) portrays Sri Krishna’s dhira lalita <\/strong>(care free, witty and amorous lover who remains under the control of his sweethearts) personality, and R\u0101dh\u0101 as rasavati-sarvasva-shiromani<\/strong> (the crown jewel of his rasika consorts).<\/p>\n

Here R\u0101dh\u0101 fulfills Krishna’s most inner desire with her renowned kila-kincita bhava<\/strong> that includes a bouquet of divine symptoms: By arching her back and thrusting her breasts forward, rolling her eyes with dancing eyebrows, Srimati exhibits the alankara named hel\u0101, which reveal her amorous intentions. Her slightly closed eyes display jealousy, the redness of her eyes show anger, while a stream of tears implores, “Please protect me!”<\/p>\n

Pretentious dry pouting and nervousness imply fear, and her crooked sidelong glances re-enforces a jealous pride that communicates: “Just wait! I shall seek revenge!” In this way, as the eight symptoms of pride, desire, crying, smiling, jealousy, fear, anger and jubilation combine, Srimati R\u0101dh\u0101rani’s kila-kincita bhava blossoms to excite pleasure within Krishna’s mind, a pleasure that surpasses the joy of conjugal union a millionfold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
