Sri Krishna-Vallabh\u00e2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Let us relish Sri Krishna-Vallabh\u00e2 purport. Once again, Sri Lil\u00e2shuk is praying so that his heart should be lost in Sri Krishna in every manner. He is saying, \u2018may my heart be lost to that divinely sporting Sri Krishna.\u2019 He has described Sri Krishna as \u2018kara-kamala-dala-kalita-lalita-tara-vamshi-kala-ninada-galad-amrita-ghana-sarasi\u2019,<\/em><\/strong> meaning, \u2018Sri Krishna\u2019s hands are like lotus and His fingers are like its petals. He is holding the flute from which pleasing notes are cascading like nectar and forming a deep lake.\u2019 This means the poet is describing Sri Krishna when He is playing the flute. So here, this verse is resounding Sri Krishna\u2019s nectarine form, that His hands are like lotuses and that His flute sounds nectarine. He has also described Sri Krishna as sahaja-ras-bhara-bharita-dara-hasita-vithi-satata-bahad-ahara-mani-madhurimani<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> meaning, \u2018Sri Krishna is naturally overflowing with sweet ras <\/em>and His ruby-like lips are radiant with constantly flowing smile.\u2019 Bhatta Gosw\u00e2mip\u00e2d has explained that, in the previous verse Sri Krishna had desired victory in the battle of love against the young maidens of Vraja. His desire has been fulfilled. So in this verse He is joyously celebrating His victory by playing the flute. Seeing Him happy, the Vraja-beauties are full of love-anger. So Sri Krishna is smiling softly! This is a very expert and ras<\/em>-full explanation indeed!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Sri Chaitanyad\u00e2s Gosw\u00e2mip\u00e2d says, Sri Lil\u00e2shuk once again has a sphurti<\/em> of Sri Krishna playing the flute and so he has recited this verse. Sri Krishna\u2019s fingers that resemble lotus-petals are playing on the flute that is pouring forth pleasing notes like a shower of nectar and they are creating a deep lake. His rosy lips are radiating soft smiles. I am losing my heart to such a Divine Being. When the Vrajab\u00e2l\u00e2s<\/em> behold Sri Krishna\u2019s sweet lips, they feel as if the nectar from His sweetly smiling lips is entering the pores of the flute and that is why its song is transforming every object into nectar. Sriman-Mah\u00e2prabhu has lamented in the mood of Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 \u2013 <\/span><\/p>\n

“Sri Krishna\u2019s soft and radiant smile is nectar mingled with camphor. It enters the flute and then intoxicates all universes. It resonates in the sky and fills all quarters with nectarine sound vibrations. It rushes in all directions and piercing the Brahm\u00e2nda, it enters the Vaikuntha planets. It forces its entry into everyone\u2019s ears. It intoxicates and forcibly drags everyone, especially young damsels. The song of the flute is extremely audacious \u2013 it forces a chaste woman to break her marital vow and fetches her out right from her husband\u2019s lap! It attracts even the Laxmis from Vaikuntha, what to speak of the Gopis<\/em>? It loosens the skirt-strings of women right in front of their husbands, forces them (the women) to forsake all household chores, catches them and drags them in front of Krishna. It makes the women dance like puppets \u2013 by making them lose all sense of righteousness, societal norms, shame and fear. It nestles within the ears and keeps on playing eternally; it does not allow any other sound to penetrate the ears. The ears, then, do not hear anything else and the mouth speaks what it does not wish to speak. Such is the character of the flute.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The poet, who is in the mood of a sakhi<\/em>, is lost in the sweet song of the flute. 52.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
