[17] Sometimes a certain woman, under some pretext, leads another near Kṛṣṇa even during the day, as in:
"Look, friend, all around, a flock of peacocks
is dancing, free from fear!
Surely a supreme fresh cloud, roaming about,
appears within their reach!"
[18] Here solitude and Kṛṣṇa standing in the midst are hinted at.
Now the vāsakasajjā [the woman prepared for her lover's arrival]:
The woman of Vraja gathers flowers and, having selected them, prepares a bed
such as clearly does not exist in the three worlds, ah, not even in the lanes of Vaikuṇṭha!
When she shines thus as a vāsakasajjikā, with only her shadow as her companion,
she, having gathered the company of her friends, understands as it were nothing at all.
When she has fallen under the sway of longing, the friend's words to him:
"Having made the bed, thinking of your arrival from every side,
since you were not seen there, unable to bear even the slightest delay of time,
she, her hands helpless with intense trembling, O you whose hands are marked with the discus,
made that which had been prepared most splendidly into something scattered and broken."
