rila Krishnad\u00e2s Kavir\u00e2j Gosw\u00e2mi says, Srimati R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni sat up like one possessed and still with Her eyes closed, She anxiously asked Her sakhi<\/em>s\u00a0 <\/span>– and Sri Lil\u00e2shuk has repeated it in this verse.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Srimati R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni said, “O my dear sakhi<\/em>s! When will I get to see That Kishor Who resembles an emerald? His rosy lips are so sweet.\u201d Sri Krishna is the Best of kishors.<\/em> The sweetness of His lips attracts and tempts the Vraja-balas who are in the sweet ras<\/em>. Sriman-Mah\u00e2prabhu has lamented in Srimati R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni\u2019s bh\u00e2v \u2013<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

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

“N\u00e2gar!<\/em> Hear the characteristic of Your lips. They madden the hearts of women and attract their tongues, everything is wrong with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

I am ashamed to tell You, that Your lips are very impudent indeed! Yes Sir! They attract even men and make them want to drink from there. They force them to forget everything else. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

Leave aside the conscious, they breathe life into the unconscious \u2013 Your lips cast a spell! Your flute is but a dry piece of wood. Your lips touch it and it suddenly gains sense organs and even a mind of its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

And then the flute becomes so dangerous, that in spite of being a male, it drinks from Your lips and declares it boldly to the Gopis. It shouts, “Listen O Gopis, I am gulping your treasure, and if you have a whiff of self respect in you, I dare you to get cross with me. Give up your shame, honour and fear and I shall move aside to make space for you. It is not as if I am scared of you, for I consider everyone as insignificant as a blade of grass.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 (Sri Chaitanya-Charit\u00e2mrita. Antya.16.113-117)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Sri Krishna\u2019s smile is serene and alluring. It steals everybody\u2019s heart and soul. It creates an ocean of passion in the Gopis and makes it surge high. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

“O M\u00e2dhav, Your smile destroys the darkness in the hearts of Your devotees, enhances passion in the Vrajasundaris, censures the ocean of Nectar and is radiant like the moon. May it give me pleasure.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>(Govinda-virud\u00e2vali)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

During purva-r\u00e2g<\/em> Srimati R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni said, “He plays the flute with a smile. It is radiant like the full moon and emits Nectar thereby intoxicating the whole world.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

The Mah\u00e2jan said \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\"krsna-holding-charan-kamal\"<\/a>“O what beauty did I behold at the base of the (Tam\u00e2l) tree? It was none other than K\u00e2l\u00e2 K\u00e2nu. Seeing that beauty, shoi<\/em>, the truth is that I forgot to fill water in my pitcher.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

First, it was the banks of the K\u00e2lindi; on top of that, the base of the tree was \u2018tribhanga<\/em>\u2019<\/span>[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, and then I saw Shy\u00e2m with His fresh cloud like complexion. While walking away (after filling the pitcher), I turned repeatedly to gaze at Him and I saw He was blowing into His flute with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

I shamelessly emptied the vessel and returned to fill it again \u2013 O shoi<\/em>, I forgot my honour, decency and fear. Poet Gy\u00e2na d\u00e2s says \u2013 I feel I want to worship the dust of His feet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> Shy\u00e2m\u2019s beauty had confused the Gopi so much that she thinks the tree to be \u2018tribhanga\u2019 while actually Sri Krishna was standing in the \u2018tribhanga\u2019 pose.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
