And when will I receive initiation into the techniques of expressing divine love for KåðŠa? yämuna-salila-äharaŠe giyä, bujhibo yugala-rasa prema-mugdha ha’ye, pägalin…-präya, gäiba rädhära yaça (4) As I go to draw water from the Yamunä, I will understand the confidential mellows of Yugala-Kiçora’s loving affairs. Being captivated by prema, I will sing ®r… Rädhikä’s glories just like a madwoman.

In a kadamba grove on the bank of Yamunä, a beautiful blackish boy holding a long flute was seated on a jeweled throne, performing His pastimes as rasa-räja, the monarch of all transcendental mellows. kåðŠa-keli sudhä-prasravana að˜a-dalopari, çr… rädhä çr… hari, að˜a-sakh… parijana (2) On the eight petals of the jeweled altar were Rädhä and Hari, surrounded by Their dearmost attendants, the eight principal gop…s. There KåðŠa was performing His amorous pastimes, which are like a waterfall of nectar.
