Bhamini Prccha Na Varam Varam
O impassioned one, do not ask me again and again -- alas, my mind grows utterly bewildered on seeing the prince of the cowherd king.
Glancing at me sideways, that playful one suddenly kissed a fresh lotus above me; because of that, I was forcibly overcome, my whole body trembling and shaking.
He placed his hand upon a pomegranate creeper bent low with round fruit; from the feeling that gave me, even my bright virtue and the wealth of my composure went utterly to ruin.
He bit a tender shoot of the ashoka vine, this one whose playful jesting is eternal as Cupid himself; seeing that, alas, I remained for a long while utterly forgetful of all bodily activity.
About Bhamini Prccha Na Varam Varam
A short Sanskrit poem of Rupa Goswami in which a sakhi teases jealous Radha by describing how a mere sideways glance from Krishna left her own body trembling, her composure shattered, and her sense of propriety in ruins -- a report deliberately pitched to provoke Radha's jealousy, and a compact example of the playful indirection that runs through Rupa Gosvami's short Vraja-lila verses.
