[16] tatrābhisāro, yathā-
anyāś cābhisaranti bhāva-valitāḥ śubhra-kṣapāyāṃ kṛtaiḥ
śubhrair veṣa-varair vidhāya pihitaṃ svaṃ satyam etad-vacaḥ | tasmin gopa-varāṅganāḥ punar amūḥ kāntāṅga-saṅga-smṛter
jātānandatayā smita-dyuti-vṛtās teṣāṃ vyadhur vyarthatām || sāmānādhikaraṇyaṃ tejas-tamaso raho kalitam | kavayanty api yat kṛṣṇa-bhrāntiṃ tamasi vraja-strīṇām || ārambhād api kampate hṛdayakaṃ prasthānataḥ stambhate
pāda-dvandvam aho manasy anumilan dehaṃ niruddhe priyaḥ | yāsāṃ gopa-nata-bhrūvām abhisṛtau tāsāṃ paraṃ kāraṇaṃ
daivaṃ yan nayate tad-antikam amūs taṃ vā balāt karṣati ||

[16] Her abhisāra is as follows:
Other women too, moved by love, go to meet their beloved in the bright night, their bodies concealed by fine white garments they have put on; this saying is true.
Yet on that night, those fair wives of the cowherds, covered in the radiance of their smiles from the joy born of remembering the touch of their lover's limbs, rendered those garments useless.
The coexistence of light and darkness was observed in secret,
since poets describe the women of Vraja mistaking darkness for Kṛṣṇa.
From the very beginning their hearts tremble; once they set out, their pairs of feet freeze.
Ah, the beloved, entering their minds, holds back their bodies!
For these cowherd women with arched brows, the supreme cause in their abhisāra is
fate, which either brings them to his side or forcefully draws him to them.
