Sri Krishna\u2019s moon like face is most beautiful with its soft smiles, and His Kishor-form is full of sweet intoxicating shring\u00e2r1<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> – therefore it is the panacea for all sorrows. May my mind forever plunge and rise playfully in the excited flow of joy emanating from such a bewitching face and gorgeous body. 14. <\/span><\/p>\n

ow Sri Lil\u00e2shuk is describing Sri Krishna\u2019s moon-face and His bh\u00e2vas. He saw that Sri Krishna is smilingly directing Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 towards a secluded flower\u2013grove with His eyes, unnoticed by the others. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sri Krishna is excited with joy. Seeing Him thus, Sri Lil\u00e2shuk is saying, “May my mind forever plunge and rise in the overwhelming ras of joy\u201d. You may ask, “Why is Sri Krishna so excited with joy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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

During the Mah\u00e2r\u00e2s, all the Gopis considered themselves very fortunate and hence became proud, while Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni expressed m\u00e2n.2<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> Therefore, Sri Krishna secretly drew Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni away from the other Gopis and relished the ras of sporting with Her in seclusion. Sri Jaydev has mentioned in Sri Gita-Govindam that R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni expressed m\u00e2n when She saw that Sri Krishna was treating every Gopi in the same manner. Therefore, She deserted the R\u00e2s-floor. When Sri Krishna did not see Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni amidst the Gopis, He immediately left all of them and went in search of R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Chaitanya-Charit\u00e2mrita has explained the above verse nicely in the following manner \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


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

“R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni was angry and deserted the R\u00e2s-floor whilst expressing m\u00e2n. When Sri Hari did not see Her He became anxious. R\u00e2s-leel\u00e2 was all that Krishna desired and R\u00e2dhik\u00e2 was the major link (of the chain of Gopis and Krishna who would form the circle of the R\u00e2s dance) of that desire. Without Her the R\u00e2s-leel\u00e2 was devoid of joy, so He left the others and went in search of R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u201d. \u2013 (C.C. \u2013 Madhya.8.84-86)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
