Tangle of flowers lie wilted in her loosened hair. Some young woman, who is more qualified than I, is blissfully engaged in revelry with Madhuripu.” hari-parirambhana-valita-vikara | kucha-kalashopari taralita-hara (kapi madhuripuna)||2|| “When Krishna deeply embraces her, she becomes bewildered by sensual agitation. She must be experiencing the bodily transformations beginning with the thrill of every pore of her skin and her necklace must be swinging to and fro on her.” vichalad-alaka-lalitanana-chandra | tad-adhara-pana-rabhasa-kruta-tandra (kapi madhuripuna) ||3|| “The beauty of her moonlike face must be enhanced by her curling locks of hair and her eyes must be blissfully closed out of an all-consuming greed to drink the nectar of Krishna’s lips.” chañcala-kundala-lalita-kapola | mukharita-dashana-jaghana-gati-lola (kapi madhuripuna) ||4|| “Her cheeks must be even lovelier when her earrings are swinging.

This attractive Gopi, every pore of her skin erupting with joy, is the very embodiment of bliss. Sri Krishna is decorating her face with a design in musk that resembles the mark of a deer upon the moon. His hair is also standing on end and is kissing her. Now he is enjoying romance with his beloved in a forest on the bank of the Yamuna. ” ghana-chaya-ruchire racayati chikure, taralita-taruanane Gopalam | kuruvaka-kusumam capala sushamam, rati-pati-murga-kanane Gopalam||2|| “Her hair is so black, soft, curly and abundant that it resembles a multitude of rain clouds.
