व्रजति तेन वयं सविलासवीक्षणार्पितमनोभववेगाः
कुजगतिं गमिता न विदामः कश्मलेन कबरं वसनं वा ॥१०.३५.१७॥
“We are enamored with Krishna’s walk. But when he bestows a sporting glance upon us we are totally bowled over. We are transfixed to the ground like trees. We perforce yield to the urges of amour. We are unable to mind our clothes or hair.”
(ll 17 ll Yugala Geetam, Five Songs of Rasa, Mumbiram)
वयमृतमिव जिह्मव्याहृतं श्रद्धधानाः
कुलिकमिवरुताज्ञाः कृष्णवध्वो हरिण्यः
ददृशुरसकृदेतन्नखस्पर्शतीव्रस्मररुज
उपमन्त्रिन् भण्यतामन्यवार्ता ॥१०.४७.१९॥
“Our story is a little different. We were drawn to him just as the beautiful innocent black doe are drawn into trap by the false mating-calls of the hunter. We believed as true all the lies he told us and all the promises he made to us. And now we have experienced the whole gamut of symptoms and sufferings of this excruciating malady of passion caused just by the touch of his mercilessly adept finger-tips. Dear messenger. Tell us about anything else.”
(ll 8 ll Bhramara Geetam, Five Songs of Rasa, Mumbiram)
