Simple Meaning:
Shri Radha-Krishna Wake up After a Romantic Dalliance
Shri Radha is pulling Krishna's pitambar with Her lotus
hands which are ringing with the sweet sound of her metal bracelets. Shri Radha-Krishna's hair is dishevelled and tousled by the exertion of
their love play. The peacock plume decking Lord Krishna's head and other
ornaments are slipping. Even then, Krishna is bound in Shri Radha's embrace
because of His fickle nature-May the vision of that same
Vibhu's (Lord Krishna who is expert in those engaging love sports) extremely
charming romantic dalliance- the divine play of Krishna rising from the
bed of amorous divine play, flash forth in my mind.
The Rasa-laden Commentary:
Shri Radha-Krishna Lying Down in a Nikuna
Shri Bilavmangal ji has made such a big demand in the above-mentioned
shloka. Priya and Priyatam are lying down in some nikunja; lying down
is just an excuse. Will anyone want to leave them after catching a glimpse
of their desirable eternal beauty and after relishing their love sport. The
loving Kishori Shri Radha has attained her supreme lover Madan Mohan
in seclusion.
Shri Radha-Krishna Pull the Pitambar
Yes, it is going to be dawn; these two were fatigued due to dallying romantically for
the entire night. They had just lied down to rest a bit when the faint
light of dawn could be seen...but the mischievous dark-hued Krishna
acted as He was sleeping once again. He covered himself with the pitambar
along with Shri Radha. One doesn't know what struck Him thereafter?
He began pulling the pitambar whereas Shri Radha understood his cleverness.
She observed His spirited antic and shyly pulled the pitambar towards
herself and tried to wrap it around. Both of them began tugging the
pitambar. Therefore the metal bracelets of their
hands made a sweet sound with their clinking. Their appearances
are dishevelled.
Their strands of hair are breaking loose, how long could they have remained
tied in such a strenous time. Defeated, the peacock plume is also
hiding somewhere. Who knows it may have gone to the lap of some yellow-hued
Kishori and is resting there. Or the peacock plume
may have gone and stuck to the chest of the supreme lover and to relish that supreme rasa. On being satisfied Krishna, the supreme
lover, would raise the plume to His head once again, which he must be longing for. Gems have slipped from Priyaji's braided hair-both
Shri Radha-Krishna are in a state of disarray.
Lord Krishna's Tires Shri Radha
punah prakriti-capalam: What to talk of Lord Krishna. He is supremely flirtatious.
Moreover, His disposition is also so fickle. He can not sit still, calmly
at one place-He must have really fatigued Priyaji with His spirited
antics.
The Interpersonal Romantic Exchange of Shri Radha-Krishna
pranayini-bhuja-yantritam: Hence she also wanted to make Him a prisoner. The capricious
Shikhamani got imprisoned in Priyaji's passionate arms. Capriciousness
is a unique trait of love. Krishna, the ocean of love, is not like
the delightful ocean of brahman(all-pervading spirit of the universe)
which is devoid of religious raputre.The infinite waves of swelling
emotions gush forth in Lord Krishna. That is why both Shri Radha-Krishna are absorbed in an interpersonal romantic
exchange.
'Shri Vrindavan Mahima Amrit'
Shri Pad Prabodhananda Saraswati ji Maharaj says in the 'Shri
Vrindavan Mahima Amrit':
samchubya bimbadharam:these sweet bimba fruit lips of Krishna are forever irrigated by the
gopis- because of getting amorous water from them they are probably blooming constantly
and eternally.The more they are watered the redder they become.
Fragrant love makes them more and more scented; passionately draws those
gopis and their svamini Shri Radha, and the interpersonal romantic exchange
begins once again.
Clinking Bracelets of Shri Radha Krishna Ringing in the Nikunja
Well both Krishna, the King of rasa and Shri Radha, the Queen
of rasa-are showering love. In this commotion the enchanting sound of
their metal bracelets exhibits joyous abandon. So that the
secret of their mysterious love play, the faint sound of Shri Radha-Krishna's
frivolous dalliance may not be heard by anyone, and to save their beloved
Svami and Svamini from the reproach of the sakhis, these bracelets are
ringing that nikunja mandir with their melodious sound. It must have taken Shri Radha-Krishna time to wake up
Sakhis Gather at the Nikunja Entrance
therefore crowds of sakhis and sevikas must have gathered at the entrance, in the meantime.
therefore crowds of sakhis and sevikas must have gathered at the entrance, in the meantime.
May the Blue & Red Hue of Shri Radha-Krishna Manifest in My Heart
Steeped in the sakhi bhava ( sweet and total commitment and love for Krishna)Shri
Bilavmangal would also be standing amongst the sakhis and expressing
his desire in words-May the mass of blue and yellow hued light (of Lord
Krishna and Shri Radha) flash forth in my heart.
With the grace of Sh.Radharani,may my
ReplyDeletemind remain blank so that the loveplay enter in my heart as Sh.
Bilavmangalji demanding in this Shloka.Very beautiful pictures are expressing everything in this Shloka.Really a Big job !!
Sometimes I really feel it is all beyond our reach.May God give us that special eye.
