Simple Meaning:
Ineffably Beautiful Krishna is Stunned by the Sidelong Glance of Shri Radha
We are searching for Him whose bodily lustre has stolen the effulgence of dense clouds, who has become
languid due of the fatigue of dallying romantically, who wears a crest
made of an impassioned peacock's plume, whose lotus face is so very
fascinating, who has become stunned by the long sidelong glance of Kamala
(Shri Radha), who is the abundance of perfection of all the sweet beauty
of the universe.
The Rasa-laden Commentary:
Lord Krishna, the Colour of the Condensed Sky
saghanjalada-cchaya: This blue-hued Brajraj is like the effulgence of thick clouds. Hundreds
of dark rays radiant like blue sapphires have gone forth and are stealing
that darkness overcast with dense clouds. A stolen object is stashed
in such a way that it is not visible to anyone. That is why Krishna
has hidden that mass of darkness in His blue hue. It proved to be of
use when the shining stars rankled Him. When an ardent longing
to embrace someon overpowers us the light of the stars is also irritating.
But of course, some light is needed for relishing the insanity of that
senselessness.
Shri Radha Embraced by Krishna, the Supreme Lover
bahula-jalada-cchaya: So Lord Krishna must have carried off the effulgence of those dark
clouds and hidden them in His bodily hue and then on need arising making
Priya relish the sweetness of His love (and relishing her impassioned
love Himself) He would have propagated that radiance by concealing it
in Himself for the sake of teasing her. The narrative of tales marked
by love signs would have been perceptible in that feeble blue hue and
Shri Radha's embarassment would have know no bounds. Embarrassed further
she would have hidden her beautiful shy face in the embrace of the Supreme Lover and His blue-hued chest.
The Divine Love of Shri Radha-Krishna
Shri Radha's mannerisms, helpless charm and
impassioned embarrasment would have roused the Supreme Lover for more
of romantic dalliances. The whole night would have spent in relishing and bestowing rasa or divine love. His countenance
would have become even more heart-stealing with the languor of love
play.
The beauty of the peacock plume would have
become something else.Who knows, it would have also taken some part
in the romantic dalliance? Probably in the commotion of Shri Radha-Krishna
the poor feather would be in a state of disorder.
Shri Radha Adulates Krishna with a Sidelong Glance
After scattering His flirtatiousness when Krishna
would have somehat come to His senses, the mischievous one would have
smiled on seeing Shri Radha. And she would have become conscious somewhow, and adjusted
her dishevelled clothes. The Supreme Lover's lotus face languid with
tell tale signs of love would have aroused her desire for a dalliance
once again. Somewhat fatigued probably the Supreme Lover was resting
till now or preparing the role for some new relishment of rasa or divine
love. He appeared very simple and innocence at this point of time as
if the mischievous One know nothing. Enchanted by His feigned innocence
and the languor of love Shri Radha would have forgotten herself. Her
love embarassment would have got absorbed in that enchantment and that
is when she would adulated her lover with a sidelong wicked glance.
Shri Radha's Sidelong Glance
Guess what, the love dice has changed sides!
Now it was Shri Radha's turn to throw the dice and that is precisely what she did.
The arrows of her curved eyes went and struck straight at the target
and the Supreme Lover was left dumbfounded. The languor of love was
transformed into speechless amazement for some time. The same heavy
shower of rati rasa or divine love would have fallen after some time.
Hundreds of interpersonal romantic exchanges would have taken place.
Through different kinds of love signs that shringar rasa or romantic
love of Shri Radha-Krishna would have ripened with intoxicating sweetness.
The Shringara Rasa of Shri Radha-Krishna
Seaching for that very shringara rasa,Shri Bilavmangal
ji is losing is his senses .
Beautiful pictures are telling by themselves the subject of the shloka.
