The flute made me completely forget how to cook! The son of Nanda plays the crooked flute as if it were a nightingale. I heard it and fried betel nuts in ghee; I thought they were squash. That flute churned my heart so much that I pressed and added completely round lemons to the Neem soup. I even kept the rice on fire without adding any water. Ohh Bor\u00e2i! K\u00e2n\u00e2i is sitting beneath the Kadamba tree on the banks of the Yamun\u00e2 and playing the flute!

He is approaching softly, gently, slowly. The soft chime of His anklets is arousing passion. He is recalling His love-sports with His Beloved Srimati R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni.
