1.8.1
atha katham api yāminīṃ vinīya smara-śara-jarjaritāpi sā prabhāte |
anunaya-vacanaṃ vadantam agre praṇatam api priyaṃ āha sābhyasūyam ||
Then, having somehow passed the night, though shattered by Smara's arrows,
at dawn, with indignation, she addressed her beloved,
who stood bowed before her, speaking words of conciliation:
For when the weary night had worn away
In these vain fears, and the clear morning broke,
Lo, Krishna! lo, the longed-for of her soul
Came too!--in the glad light he came, and bent
His knee, and clasped his hands; on his dumb lips
Fear, wonder, joy, passion, and reverence
Strove for the trembling words, and Radha knew
Peace won for him and her; yet none the less
A little time she eluded him, and sang:
