Some differences in Bhava-alankaras
6-7 Meanwhile, just as he decorated Radha, the Prema-nritya-guru also ornaments Krishna's mind and body with the same symptoms! Although Rādhā and Krishna are both totally enthralled with sūddīpta Sattvika bhavas. Krishna's bhava alankaras slightly differ.
Ṭīkā: For example, he doesn't exhibit the kilakinchita or kuttamita Alankaras. And in place of Radha's nivi-bandhana sramsana etc, Krishna's pitambara loosens, his peacock feathers fall to the ground and he even drops his murali!
veṇuḥ karān nipatitaḥ skhalitaṁ śikhaṇḍaṁ
bhraṣṭaṁ ca pīta-vasanaṁ vraja-rāja-sūnoḥ
yasyāḥ kaṭākṣa-śara-ghāta-vimūrcchitasya
tāṁ rādhikāṁ paricarāmi kadā rasena
The flute has fallen from his hand, and the peacock crown slipped from his head. The yellow cloth has loosened from the waist of the son of the king of Braja, who has fallen into a faint after being pierced by a sidelong glance from Srimati Rādhārāṇī. Oh, when will I serve her with delight? (Rādhā-rasa-sudhā-nidhi, 39)

Illumined like two dancers on a stage - Radha Krishna's prema dalliance thrills
Lalita and all of the others watching the spectacle!
Radha and Krishna's bodies, as in various dancing poses, express newer and
newer emotion that awaken beaming pride and joy! Aho! The sakhis are spellbound,
and with great feeling they surrender their mind, body and soul to the Divine
Couple! But they also horripilate as tears pour from their eyes!
Ṭīkā: Rati (bhava, prema) causes sāttvika emotions. Even when bhaktas of our world (having rati) hear narrations such as these, similar emotions can happen (to some extent). If such symptoms don't take place, one must learn to lament for one's lack of appreciation and earnestly pray for rati to awaken. Yet only by following the moods of these fortunate gopis will such divine emotion be possible.
In Krishna-bhavanamrita, Srila Chakravartipada described another day's
noon-milan as follows:
With surprise, Krishna appears amidst the gopis like the full moon rising over
a lily patch! The gopis try to conceal their elation-but their weak attempts
fail! The swelling ocean of Krishna's madhurya awakens their Ananga-tarangas
(waves of erotic desire)! So hoping to cover them, they display artificial
anger.
Yet this instantly crumbles - just as the ocean's incoming tide sweeps away a sand wall! Hence, the gopis' amorous desires only double! But then their eyes turn into boats which sail over the madhurya sindhu of Krishna's body! Aho! They lose composure! Becoming caught within the whirlpool of each bodily limb their eyes sink downwards-just as a boat capsizes in the ocean's fierce under-tow! So if somebody says that the gopis' eyes now stare at the ground due to shyness-they are unaware of this tattva.
