1-8 Radhika reveals her heartache
Radha Krishna's Midday Lila Sutra
madhyāhne'nyonya-saṅgodita-vividha-vikārādi-bhūṣā-pramugdhau
vāmyotkaṇṭhātilolau smara-makha-lalitādy-āli-narmāpta-śātau
dolāraṇyāmbu-vaṁzī-hṛti-rati-madhu-pānārka-pūjādi-līlau
rādhā-kṛṣṇau sa-tṛṣṇau parijana-ghaṭayā sevyamānau smarāmi
During the thrill of yugala-milan, Radha and Krishna's bodies become ornamented
by ashta-sattvika, sancari and other transcendental emotions!
Radha's resisting
tendency mixes with eagerness,
and Krishna's impatience is irrepressible-hence
Kandarpa's yajna is successfully inaugurated!
Later, Lalita and others appear to please the Divine Couple with their laughter
and joking!
Then a host of pastimes begin:
Vamshi-harana (stealing the flute),
Dola (Holi),
Vana-vihara (forest sightseeing),
Madhupana (drinking intoxicating honey),
Rati keli (love-play),
Jala-vihara (watersports),
Surya puja, etc.
Let's thus remember Radha and Krishna's midday pastimes as they are served by
the gopis."
(Śrī Rūpa, Smaraṇa-maṅgala, 6)
Jhulana (swing sport),
Anga-vesh (dressing),
Vana-bhojan (forest picnicking),
Suka-pathana (the parrots' poetic recital) and
Pasa-khela (dice play)
are indirectly mentioned here by the term adi, which means et cetera.
These events are also narrated within the Madhyahna period.
Because Radha-Krishna's prema is nava-navayamana (ever-fresh and new)
each reunion is as exciting as their first meeting.
Hence, their bodies are always decorated with newer and newer transcendental
emotions.
Verse
2-8
As previously described, Vrajendra-nandana-priya (Śrī Rādhā) is seated at home.
Yet the intense desire to meet Krishna tortures her!
Thus, in seeking solace, she reveals, her mind to Visakha:
"O Sakhi! The strong waves in the ocean of Krsna's bodily sweetness
totally
submerges every beautiful woman's high mountain of patience!
His joking words give pleasure to the ears,
his body is more cooling than a million moons, and
the fragrant scent from his nectar-lips flood the universe!
Hence, the Son of Nanda Maharaj is forcefully attracting my five senses!"
"Oh Vishakhe! Krsna's anga kanti is more beautiful than a nava jaladhara (fresh cloud)
and his enchanting attire resembles lightning.
Krsna's mohana murali enhances his beauty, and
his face is brighter than the autumn-moon.
Above his face rests a peacock feathered crown, and
a jeweled necklace tosses from his chest like a row of stars.
Oh sakhi! Madana Mohan is enticing the thirst of my eyes!"
"Oh Sakhi! Krsna's voice is deep like a rumbling-cloud, and
his tinkling ornaments allure the ears.
Krsna's joking has rapturous inner meaning, and
his seductive flute steals the heart of Lakshmi-what to speak of other women!
Oh Vishakhe! Madana Mohan is stretching the captivation of my ears!"
"Oh Sakhi! Krsna's bodily fragrance thwarts the aroma of musk to enslave all
women!
His body has eight highly scented lotuses that are more perfumed than any
common lotus mixed with camphor.
Besides, Krsna's body is anointed with the finest musk, camphor, chandan and
aguru.
Oh Vishakhe! Madana Mohan is steeping the thrill of my nostrils!"
"Hey sakhi! Krsna's chest is broad and enticing as a sapphire shaft.
His two strong arms bolt the door of the gopis' hearts from Cupid's
inflicting arrows.
Moreover, his body is soothing as the moonbeams, chandan, camphor and the
lotus.
Oh Vishakhe! Madana-mohana is luring the fascination of my chest!"
"Hey sakhi! The sweet nectar of Krsna's lips subverts the Vraja kaminis'
desire for any other taste.
Krsna's adhara sudha rasa (pure taste of Krishna's lips) is unattainable however,
for one lacking heaps and
heaps of pious assets.
The prasadi pan that Krsna chews vilifies the sweetness of amrita.
Oh Vishakhe! Madana Mohan is increasing the madness of my tongue!"
