‘I feel the bed as a funeral pyre, your fascination strikes like the lightening and 1 cannot adore the pearls around my neck.
‘The splendour seems like the gallows, the enchantment is slapping me and the sweet viands seem like stones.
‘O my captivating Krishna, without you the Moon night is irritating me, the fly-whisk seems like a whip, and the Moon presents witchery atmosphere.’(17)
Dohira
Reading her letter, Sri Krishna was appeased and arranged his own
Maid to accompany Radha’s friend.(18)
To see Radha, a meeting at the river Jamuna was planned,
And a maid was at once assigned to go and make the arrangements.(19)
Hearing the order of Sri Krishna,
The maid flew like a flying horse to that direction.(20)
The maid, which was thought to be as fast as lightening in the sky,
Had been assigned by Sri Krishna to go and see Radha.(21)

Having had her meals, suffusing herself with the perfumes of flowers, she was sitting there casually.
The maid came in and told her, ‘You the one cherished by (Sri Krishna) with broad vision, come quick he is aspiring for you.
‘Go and meet him as the lightening immerses in the clouds.
‘The night is passing away and you are not listening to me.(22)
‘You had told me that he often passed through the streets in the guise of a cowherd.
‘Sometime he visited the houses of the milkmaids, to enjoy the milk, wearing the feathers of a peacock.
‘Now, my friend! He is playing the flute on the banks of Jamuna and has sent me for you.
‘Come, listen to me and come, Sri Krishna is calling you.(23)
‘He always praises you, and to get your attention he plays the flute,
And, for your sake, he is embellishing himself and blending his body with the sandalwood cream.’
Sri Krishna’s soul was filched by Radha, the daughter of Brikhbhan,
But nobody else could experience the perception.(24)
Sri Krishna, the one emanating the sublime rays like the feathers of the peacock, was ensconced at the banks of Jamuna.
Hearing about Sri Krishna the cowherd-boys became impatient and proceeded to the place.
And, learning all about Sri Krishna, Radha primed herself, and, getting rid of all the fears, she, as well, quickly walked along.
Discerning Sri Krishna, she had abandoned her home, and, in the wake of passion, forgotten her pride.(25)
The pearly ornaments and the nose-stud enhanced her bodily grace.
The pearly necklaces and bracelets were adding charm, and, holding the lotus flowers, she waited for Sri Krishna.
She looked like the rice-pudding emanating from the body of the
Moon which (the Moon) had been churned out of the sea.(26)
Chaupaee
The bliss was radiating every heart around the place over where Sri Krishna was bathing.
They stood to bathe with more pleasure.
On one side was Gopal, Sri Krishna, and on the other side there were
The dames who were singing, giggling and clapping their hands.(27)
Savaiyya
In exhilaration Sri Krishna was bathing in the deep waters.
On one side were the ladies and Sri Krishna was seated on the other.
(Soon) both (Sri Krishna and Radha) were together. They dived and loved each other,
Thinking that all the rest were away and none cared to look at them.(28)
In deep love with Sri Krishna, Radha did not care to realise others reflections.
In the wake of youth, she was brimming with passion, and her lover’s image was getting carved in her heart.
Not to feel ashamed, in the presence of her friends, she kept loving Sri Krishna while remaining inside water.
And in the intensity of love she persisted there fully absorbed.(29)
