Krishna, without you Radha, Feels poisoned by the sandal balm, The soothing unguent meant to calm. Krishna, without you Radha, Is scorched by love, a flame that burns As, with every sighing breath, she yearns. Krishna, without you Radha, With lotus eyes, is looking all around for you, Eyes like flowers plucked, streaming tears of dew. Krishna, without you Radha, Rests cheek in hand, cradled there tight, A new moon steady in the dark of night. Krishna, without you Radha, Imagines her bed of leaves a pyre\u2014 What should be cool is on fire.<\/p>\n

Krishna, without you Radha, Anxiously chants, \u201cOh my God, oh God above,\u201d As if eager to die for the sake of your love. OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com Krishna, without you Radha, May Jaya\u00b7deva\u2019s song make joy complete For those bowed down at Krishna\u2019s feet. \u201cShe bristles, moans, groans, laments, and gasps, blinks, sinks, rises, falls, and finally faints.<\/p>\n

Should you not, like a heavenly healer, cure this lovely girl of passion\u2019s flagrant fever with the potion of your love? There is no other helping hand.\u201d* \u201cYou are most dear to the doctors divine, And yet you do not heal Radha\u2019s afflictions; She, so sick with love, can only be cured by the balm of your touch. You are more cruel than a thunderbolt, Indra\u2019s brother!\u201d* \u201cIt\u2019s surprising how long she\u2019s suffered love\u2019s ardent fevers, her heart aching with reveries of sandal, the moon, and lotuses; Although she\u2019s weary, she imagines that you, so dear to her, your body cool, are alone and waiting in hiding for her.<\/p>\n

Only thus has she, though so weak, been able to survive from moment to moment.\u201d OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com \u201cWhen you were together, she refused to close her eyes, unable as she was to endure not seeing you even for an instant. And now, how can she, as she stares at mango branches, their tips in bloom,* possibly endure being so long and far away from you?\u201d His arm lifted and supported Mount Go\u00b7vardhana* to shelter the cowherd village from torrential rains; And then, in time, the milkmaids, in joyous gratitude, as if proud of that arm, kissed the limb, imprinting it with vermilion from their lips.<\/p>\n

May the arm of Krishna the cowherd bless you! OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com \u2019LL STAY HERE,\u201d said Krishna: \u201cYou go to Radha, and say things about me that will appease her; Then bring her to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
