About Priya Sakhi Keli Paricchada Punjam

A verse from the opening act of Rupa Gosvami's Sanskrit drama Vidagdha-Madhava, spoken by a sakhi instructed to ready the forest bower for Radha and Krsna's rendezvous. The inventory it lists -- a flower-strewn bed, a jeweled betel box, a yellow silk cloth -- is typical of Rupa's ornate srngara-rasa stage directions, written to be as visually stageable as they are lyrical.
