1.1.27

vasante vāsantī-kusuma-sukumārair avayavair bhramantīṃ kāntāre bahu-vihita-kṛṣṇānusaraṇām |
amandaṃ kandarpa-jvara-janita-cintākulatayā valad-bādhāṃ rādhāṃ sarasam idam ūce sahacarī ||

In springtime, to Rādhā, wandering in the forest with limbs delicate like vāsantī flowers,
pursuing Kṛṣṇa in many ways, her torment mounting violently
with anxiety born of the fever of Kandarpa, a companion passionately spoke as follows:

Beautiful Radha, jasmine-bosomed Radha,
All in the Spring-time waited by the wood
For Krishna fair, Krishna the all-forgetful,--
Krishna with earthly love's false fire consuming--
And some one of her maidens sang this song:--
