Sri Lilâshuk is saying –

The beauty of Sri Krishna’s eyes is wonderful. They are ras-full and look even more remarkable since they are full of love for Sri Râdhâ! He is signalling to Her to go to a secluded flower grove. The naturally beautiful eyes are now studded with Sri Râdhârâni’s love, as if a beautiful gold ornament has been deccorated with diamonds. His eyes are glowing with love for Râdhârâni. Obviously, they now appear supremely attractive to Sri Lilâshuk who is in the mood of a sakhi.

A Vrajabâlâ is saying in the purva-râg stage –

“His complexion is that of a lustrous cloud and He is groomed in an enchanting manner. When He gazes with His rose-tipped eyes, it defeats even lightning and razes the modesty of respectable women to ashes.

My loving friend, ever since I have seen Kânhâ (Krishna) my world has become full of flower-tipped arrows (of the Love-god) and  I cannot see any one else.

Once, glancing at me with a faint smile, He stretched Himself and dropped His flute; then He bit on a young shoot playfully – I don’t know what He meant by it. Ever since my heart has been burning and my restless soul is crying. The poet Govinda dâs gave me false hope, for Kânu has still not arrived”.
