About Ati Ciram Ajani Rajanir

A brief, anxious verse of Rupa Goswami placed in the mouth of a sakhi keeping vigil for Radha on a long, dark night when Krishna, the wearer of the forest garland, has failed to appear -- she runs through possible reasons, from a jealous rival keeping him back to the far graver thought that he may have forgotten Radha altogether, or be occupied fighting the enemies of the gods, before the verse breaks off leaving the fear unresolved.
