About Rtu Rajarpita Tosa Tarangam

A brief, four-verse spring lyric attributed to Srila Rupa Goswami, one of the six Goswamis of Vrindavan, in which the seasonal beauty of Vraja -- the sandalwood breeze, cuckoos, sprouting trees and humming bees -- is described as a symphony of dancers and musicians heralding Krishna's eternal, ever-fresh pastimes with Radha. Its style typifies the rtu-varnana (season-description) verses scattered through Rupa Goswami's dramatic works such as Vidagdha-Madhava.
