1.3.2.p1

|| prabandhaḥ 7 ||

(What follows is to the Music GURJJARÎ and to the Mode YATI)

Thereat,--as one who welcomes to her throne
A new-made Queen, and brings before it bound
Her enemies,--so Krishna in his heart
Throned Radha; and--all treasonous follies chained--
He played no more with those first play-fellows:
But, searching through the shadows of the grove
For loveliest Radha,--when he found her not,
Faint with the quest, despairing, lonely, lorn,
And pierced with shame for wasted love and days,
He sate by Jumna, where the canes are thick,
And sang to the wood-echoes words like these:
