Gita Govinda 1.1.49

1.1.49

NOTE: {ayaṃ ślokaḥ prabodhānandena na paṭhitaḥ }
rāsollāsa-bhareṇa vibhrama-bhṛtām ābhīra-vāma-bhruvām abhyarṇaṃ parirabhya nirbharam uraḥ premāndhayā rādhayā |
sādhu tvad-vadanaṃ sudhā-mayam iti vyāhṛtya gīta-stuti-vyājād udbhaṭa-cumbitaḥ smita-manohāri hariḥ pātu vaḥ ||

Embracing tightly against his chest the beloved of the cowherd women filled with grace in the exuberance of the rāsa, / Rādhā, blinded by love, kissed him boldly under the pretense of a hymn of praise, crying, “How sweet is your face, full of nectar!”; may that Hari, captivating with his smile, protect you.

But may He guide us all to glory high
Who laughed when Radha glided, hidden, by,
And all among those damsels free and bold
Touched Krishna with a soft mouth, kind and cold;
And like the others, leaning on his breast,
Unlike the others, left there Love's unrest;
And like the others, joining in his song,
Unlike the others, made him silent long.
