1)
“O Radha, look! Dressed in yellow cloths and adorned with a garland of forest flowers around his neck, with sandalwood paste smeared upon his blue limbs, His earrings swing to and fro on his cheeks and his beautiful face is radiant with a sweet smile.
Hari/Krsna feels the utmost elation as he enjoys with captivated Gopis in this Vrindavana forest,
2)
One of the Gopis is firmly embracing Krishna lovingly,
crushing him with the weight of her heavy breast,
She has begun to sing a melody of love with him, in the fifth musical mode.
Hari/Krsna feels the utmost elation as he enjoys with captivated Gopis in this Vrindavana forest,
3)
One gopi claps her hands while dancing, enraptured in the ecstacy of the rasa. Hari/Krsna praises her upon hearing the marvellous melody of his flute combined with the sound of her trembling bangles.
Hari/Krsna feels the utmost elation as he enjoys with captivated Gopis in this Vrindavana forest,
