v2.c27.s2.73

“ Radha with timid joy, darting her eyes on Govinda while she musically sounded the rings of her ankles and the bells of her zone,² entered the mystic bower of her beloved. His heart was agitated by her sight, as the waves of the deep are affected by the lunar orb.³ From his graceful waist flowed a pale yellow robe,⁴ which resembled the golden dust of the water-lily scattered over its blue petals.⁵ His locks interwoven with blossoms, were like a cloud variegated by the moonbeam. Tears of transport gushed in a stream from the full eyes of Radha, and their watery glances beamed on her best beloved. Even shame, which had before taken its abode in their dark pupils, was itself ashamed,⁶ and departed when the fawn-eyed Radha gazed on the bright face of Krishna.”
