My innermost mind is immersed in That God Whose eyes are like the lotus that have bloomed slightly in the new rays of sunshine, and Whose face looks very sweet since it is shining with pride, having won the battle of love-making against the damsels of Vraja. 51.<\/span><\/p>\n

rila Kavir\u00e2j Gosw\u00e2mip\u00e2d has written in the beginning of his purport to this verse \u2013 hereafter Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s heart and senses were so engrossed in Sri Krishna\u2019s\u00a0 <\/span>sweetness that She bade Her sakhis<\/em> farewell \u2013 O sakhis<\/em>! This is the last time we see each other, for now I shall die \u2013 and She fell down unconscious. She spoke in delirium and Sri Lil\u00e2shuk has echoed Her feelings in three verses. In this verse, Srimati was overcome by a bh\u00e2v<\/em> called \u2018kuttumita<\/em><\/strong>\u2019. She was absorbed in the sweet pastimes of Krishna \u2013 when He tugged at Her bodice, forcibly folded Her in His arms and joked with Her.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is \u2018kuttumita<\/em>\u2019 bh\u00e2v<\/em>?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Although Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is pleased when Sri Krishna touches Her breasts and lips, to maintain Her dignity, She expresses hurt and anger. Wise men call this bh\u00e2v<\/em> as \u2018kuttumita\u2019<\/em>. – [U.N. 11.49]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“When Krishna covetously tugs at Her bodice, Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 stops Him, although She is ecstatic within. Externally She displays anger, although She is happy in her heart. We call this adornment (bh\u00e2v<\/em>) as \u2018kuttumita<\/em>\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She locks His hand and His aim is fulfilled (since this is what He wanted). R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is pleased inside although She expresses anger outside. She pretends as if She is hurt and cries, although there are no tears. Then she chastises Him with a slight smile.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>– [Sri Chaitanya-Charit\u00e2mrita.Madhya.14.184-187]<\/span><\/p>\n

“pani-rodham-avirodita-vanchhang,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

m\u00e2dhavsyua kurute karabhoruh,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

hari shushka-ruditancha mukhe\u2019pi\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Meaning \u2013 “Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2, Whose thighs are as shapely as the elephant\u2019s trunk, obstructs Sri Krishna\u2019s hands (when He tries to touch Her breasts and lips) in a manner as if She wishes He would never stop, conceals Her sweet and soft smile and chastises Him. She also cries without shedding any tears, and Sri Krishna finds this highly attractive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Krishna finds kuttumita<\/em> bh\u00e2v<\/em> as very captivating. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Once when They were sitting in a lonely place, Sri Krishna put His arms around Srimati. She expressed kuttumita<\/em> bh\u00e2v<\/em>. Seeing this Sri Krishna told Her, \u2018Darling! Why are You raising Your eyebrows at me? And why are You casting aside my hands? O Beautiful One! Don\u2019t cover Your face while Your cheeks are giving away that You are thrilled with joy! Make Madhusudan happy by allowing Him to drink madhu<\/em> (honey) from Your madhur<\/em> (sweet) lips.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– [U.N.11.51]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is telling Her sakhis <\/em>\u2013 \u2018O sakhis<\/em>! My mind is immersed in That attractive and supremely sweet Sri Krishna with Divine pastimes.\u2019 The point to be noted is that, Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s mind is immersed in the ocean of Sri Krishna\u2019s sweetness! How is the sweetness of Sri Krishna? She is saying, \u2018vraja-yuvati-rati-kalaha-vijayi-nija-lila-madam-udita-vadana-shashi-madhuri-mahi\u2019<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> meaning, \u2018Sri Krishna fights a battle of love-making with Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 and the other damsels of Vraja such as, forcibly putting His arms around them, tugging at their bodice and touching their breasts and lips while the Gopis<\/em> thwart His actions. Now He has won this battle, hence His beautiful moon like face is sparkling with pride and joy. His face is looking incredibly sweet!\u2019 Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is absorbed in the glorious sweetness of Sri Krishna. Also, His face is \u2018ahima-kara-nikara-mridu-mudita-laxmi-saras-tara-sarasi-ruha-sadrisha-drishi\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, meaning, “Sri Krishna\u2019s eyes are as beautiful as a lotus that has bloomed slightly in the new rays of sunshine. His eyes are beautiful, cool, fragrant and have all other qualities that the blooming lotus possesses. Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s mind is absorbed in Sri Krishna Who has such beautiful eyes. Srimati\u2019s mind is enchanted by Sri Krishna\u2019s beauty. The mind controls the senses. Hence, each of Her senses wants to merge with Sri Krishna. Srimati says \u2013 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is something about His beauty that fills my eyes with tears when I behold Him. He has such wonderful qualities that my mind is lost in them. Each part of my being aches for each part of His being. My heart cries for the touch of His heart. My soul is restless; I am so much in love.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My friend, what shall I say? I shall fulfil my vow at any cost. I cannot express the happiness that arises in my heart when I see Him, and how I am eager to see Him and touch Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When He laughs, cascades of honey seem to tumble down, and when my darling smiles, it seems to be the essence of love. The elders are highly protective of me. So out of fear I remain surrounded with friends and my body is full of goose bumps whenever someone mentions His name. I try my level best to hide the goose bumps, while my eyes shed tears endlessly. Everyone in my house is whispering amongst themselves, poet Gy\u00e2na d\u00e2s says, \u2018She has burnt up all Her shame\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
