Sri Bhatta Gosw\u00e2mip\u00e2d has written that Srila Lil\u00e2shuk\u2019s heart is so absorbed in Sri Krishna that He cannot bear Sri Krishna\u2013viraha<\/em> anymore. So, in this verse he is praying for a \u2018sphurti<\/em>\u2019 of Sri Krishna\u2019s leel\u00e2<\/em>. Sri Krishna\u2019s form is made of intense ras<\/em>. The Upanishads have described this form as \u2018extremely mysterious\u2019 or top secret, so the poet does not mention Sri Krishna\u2019s name and instead prays for a \u2018sphurti<\/em>\u2019 of \u2018dense brilliance\u2019. Factually, this brilliance is none other than the leel\u00e2-par\u00e2yan1<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/em> Sri Krishna surrounded by the Vraja-b\u00e2l\u00e2s. Therefore in this verse he is describing That leel\u00e2<\/em>–par\u00e2yan<\/em> Sri Krishna.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

These ras<\/em>-filled dalliances are the favourite pastimes of the Vrajadevis. Sri Krishna is the source of these dalliances. He is their life and soul. They live only because they have obtained Shy\u00e2msundar, the One Who is the supremely intense blissful ras <\/em>personified. They express the most attractive symptoms of bewilderment. Therefore, they are also called \u2018hridaya-vibhrama\u2019<\/em>. He is the beloved of Vraja-sundaris. He is everything to them and He enters their hearts. In his purport, Srip\u00e2d has quoted twenty-two expressions of the Vrajadevis as mentioned in Sri Ujjwal\u2013Neelmani. We are mentioning only a few of them for the pleasure of the readers. They are given in Sri Chaitanya-Charit\u00e2mrita:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni is all\u00a0the more beautiful because She is adorned with the jewellery of bh\u00e2vas such as kila-kinchit, kuttumita, vilola, lalita, bibboka, mott\u00e2yita, mougdha<\/em> and chakita<\/em>. When Krishna beholds these expressions of bh\u00e2v, His ocean-like joy manifests tumultuous waves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Devotees!) Hear the description of \u2018kila-kinchit<\/em>\u2019 bh\u00e2v<\/em>. R\u00e2dh\u00e2 steals the heart of Krishna when She is adorned with this bh\u00e2v<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If upon beholding R\u00e2dh\u00e2, Krishna wants to touch Her, or when He obstructs Her path in D\u00e2ngh\u00e2ti, Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 expresses this bh\u00e2v<\/em>. Sometimes Krishna stops Her from plucking flowers and sometimes He tries to touch Her in front of Her friends. In all these cases, she expresses \u2018kila-kinchit<\/em>\u2019. This bh\u00e2v <\/em>arises from joy. (R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni actually feels happy in these cases).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seven more expressions are added to the first one (joy) and when all the eight are combined, it gives rise to Mah\u00e2bh\u00e2v. These seven expressions are \u2013 pride, desire, fear, tear-less crying, anger, indignation and a faint smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When these eight different expressions, each with their own different flavour, come together, they give rise to a unique taste that gives great pleasure to Krishna.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is just like preparing the wonderful dish called \u2018Ras\u00e2l\u00e2\u2019 that is made by adding dashes of sugar, ghee, honey, pepper, camphor and nutmeg to yoghurt. When Krishna beholds R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s eyes expressing this bh\u00e2v<\/em> (kila-kinchit<\/em>), He is filled with a pleasure that is ten million times greater than the joy of love-making.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Suppose R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is sitting down or She is going to Vrind\u00e2van, and suddenly She sees Krishna, immediately She manifests various expressions such as shyness, joy, desire, modesty, unfavourable disposition and fear. All these expressions together make R\u00e2dh\u00e2 agitated and this gem of a bh\u00e2v<\/em> is called \u2018vil\u00e2s\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If R\u00e2dh\u00e2 stands in a \u2018tribhanga<\/em>\u2019 pose in front of Krishna with Her eyebrows dancing and sends many signals through Her eyes and face, then this jewel of a bh\u00e2v<\/em> is called \u2018lalita<\/em>\u2019. When Krishna sees R\u00e2dh\u00e2 adorned with this jewellery (bh\u00e2v<\/em>), both become very much eager to meet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Krishna is thus tempted and tugs at R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s bodice. She is joyous at heart, but externally, She stops Him. Outwardly, She manifests adversity and anger while inside She rejoices. Krishna\u2019s desire is fulfilled as She covers Herself with Her palms. She utters a tear-less cry as if in agony, then chastises Krishna with a faint smile. This ornament-like bhaav<\/em> is called \u2018kuttumita<\/em>\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this manner, R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is adorned with so many different bh\u00e2vas<\/em> due to which She manages to steal Krishna\u2019s heart\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

-(C.C. \u2013 Madhya.18.178-188)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni is the only one who can manifest all of these jewel-like bh\u00e2vas<\/em> to their complete extent. However, the other Gopis too may manifest these bh\u00e2vas<\/em> to different extents that depends on the degree of their love.11.<\/span><\/p>\n
