Gita Govinda 1.11.17

1.11.17

mṛdu-cala-malaya-pavana-surabhi-śīte |
NOTE: {mṛdu-cala-malaya- iti haridāsa-pāṭhāntaraḥ.}
vilasa madana-śara-nikara-bhīte ||

Cool and fragrant with the gentle, wafting breeze of the Malaya mountains, / revel, O you terrified by the multitude of Madana's arrows!

Enter, with tender-blowing airs of heaven,
Soft as love's breath and gentle as the tones
Of lover's whispers, when the lips come close:

1.11.17.p1

NOTE: {kusuma-śara iti, madana-rasa iti vā ni-pāṭhāntaraḥ.}
NOTE: {vilasa rati-valita-lalita-gīte iti haridāsa-pāṭhaḥ. tatra pāthāntare rasa-valita- iti ca. }

[Note: Variant readings: “kusuma-śara-” (arrows of flowers) or “madana-rasa-” (the nectar of Madana); Haridāsa’s reading: “vilasa rati-valita-lalita-gīte” (revel, O you of lovely songs imbued with erotic pleasure!), with a variant “rasa-valita-” (imbued with flavor).]
