75-78 Kṛṣṇa sees in Vasanta Vana Rādhā

75 Kṛṣṇa continues: "This forest is the factory for Kandarpa's arrows-all of the trees and vines produce them. Hence the bees are the inspectors, for they buzz from flower to flower to test, saying: "Aha! This puṣpa bana is first-class! And oh! This one's so-so."

Ṭīkā: Madana's five arrows (puṣpa bāna) are the aravinda (pink-lotus), the Āśoka, the Citrā, the Nava Mallikā and the Nilotpala (blue lotus). And these awaken kāma for the aprākṛta navīna madana, Śrī Madana Mohanjī. But here Kṛṣṇa mentions that all of Vṛndāvan's flowers produces Madana's effect of sanmohana (allurement), unmādana (intoxication), śoṣana (absorbtion), tāpana (fever) and stambhana (paralysis).

76 Kṛṣṇa jokes: "Oh Priye! Just look at this bhramara and bhramarī! They've entered a flower together to make love! But as the love-thirsty bhramarī's shadow reflects on the soft petals, she mistakes that another bhramarī is embracing her beloved bhramara. Thus, she turns jealously angry!

Ṭīkā: Rādhārāṇī often becomes bewildered upon seeing her reflection on Kṛṣṇa's body; she mistakes it for another Ramaṇī and becomes maṇini! But as she chases Kṛṣṇa away by striking him with her Līlā kamālā, his fascination soars! Because Rādhā's amusing facial contortions deliver supreme bliss, Kṛṣṇa points to the bhramarī's behavior to enjoy her reaction. This will surely awaken the memory of her nirhetu mana (causeless jealousy).

77 "Oh Priye! Oh Kamālā-mukhi!" exclaims Kṛṣṇa, "Look at the banana trees! Their red blossoms are lips, their teeth are its newly budding bananas and the madhu dripping on the ground are tears. Aha! Are they shivering in ecstasy and broadly smiling due to our arrival?"

Ṭīkā: This scene reminds Kṛṣṇa of his first meeting with Rādhā. As a mugdha Nāyikā (inexperienced lover) she couldn't check the intense thrill of seeing him! Thus, while timidly smiling, she revealed her shining teeth as her body trembled and tears of ecstasy rushed from her eyes! Prema's language is such! Kṛṣṇa shows Rādhikā Devī examples of her behavior by directing her attention to the forest's beauty.

78 "Oh Prāṇa-Priye! Look at that young bhramara! He's sweetly posing while performing Halliśaka dancing with the Bhramarīs soaring in the flower latās. But now he's taking a special Bhramarī to hide with him in the lotus patch!"

Ṭīkā: One man's dancing in the midst of many women is called Halliśaka nṛtya, as Kṛṣṇa does during the Rāsa Līlā. And seeing a bhramara fleeing with a special Bhramarī, Kṛṣṇa reminds Rādhā of her exalted position when he left the Rāsa-mandala and thousands of Vraja sundarīs to enjoy with her alone.
