1.2.1
viharati vane rādhā sādhāraṇa-praṇaye harau vigalita-nijotkarṣād īrṣyā-vaśena gatā'nyataḥ |
kvacid api latā-kuñje guñjan-madhu-vrata-maṇḍalī mukhara-śikhare līna dīnāpy uvāca rahaḥ sakhīm ||
While Hari sported in the forest, his love shared equally with all, Rādhā, feeling her own preeminence diminished, went elsewhere overcome with jealousy; / hidden in a vine bower whose topmost foliage hummed with swarms of bees, dejected though she was, she spoke in secret to her confidante:
Thus lingered Krishna in the deep, green wood,
And gave himself, too prodigal, to those;
But Radha, heart-sick at his falling-off,
Seeing her heavenly beauty slighted so,
Withdrew; and, in a bower of Paradise--
Where nectarous blossoms wove a shrine of shade,
Haunted by birds and bees of unknown skies--
She sate deep-sorrowful, and sang this strain,
