Sajali Syama Vinodini Radhe
Radha, she who delights Shyama, has adorned herself -- she joins the waves of delight, colorful with passion, moving to the rhythm that enchants even Madana.
Her charming feet, reddened with lac-dye, shame the khanjana bird; her anklets tinkle; clad in a blue garment, her jeweled little bells ring out; her graceful gait surpasses the elephant's, her waist so slender.
Her pair of bud-like breasts, which steal the beauty of golden cups, are adorned with brilliant pearl necklaces; her two arms are like steady lightning; as her jeweled bracelets jingle, Kama himself starts in astonishment.
Her charming smile makes the taste of nectar insipid; the radiance of her teeth outshines pearls; jeweled earrings sway on her lovely cheeks; her eyes, like rows of arrows, fill the ten directions.
Her braided hair falls low, curling locks upon her brow, her eyebrows bent like Kama's own bow; Govinda Dasa holds fast in his heart this presiding goddess of the lord of amorous love.
