sundari hari-abhisarika lagi naba anurage gori bheli saḿari kuhu-yamini-bhaya bhagi
Translation

The beautiful one, for the sake of meeting Hari as an abhisarika, adorned herself with fresh passion, having overcome her fear of the moonless night.

nilima mrgamade tanu anurasja-i nilima hara ujora nila-balaya-gana bhuja-yuga-mandita pahirali nila nicola
Translation

She tinted her body dark with musk, wore a gleaming dark necklace, adorned both her arms with dark bangles, and put on a dark wrap.

nila alakakula alike hilolata nila timire calu go-i nila nalina yaiche samaru sayare lakha-i na para-i ko-i
Translation

Her dark curling locks waved upon her forehead; she moved through the darkness like a dark lotus upon a lake — no one could make her out.

nila-bhramara-gana parimale dhaba-i caudike karata jhankara gobinda-dasa ata-e anumana-i ra-i calali abhisara
Translation

Dark bumblebees rushed toward her fragrance, humming all around her; from this, says Govinda dasa, one may infer that Radha has set out on her tryst.

About Sundari Hari Abhisarika Lagi

A classic krsnabhisarika-varnana by Govinda Dasa Kaviraja: Radha dresses entirely in blue and black — dark musk-tinted limbs, dark bangles, a dark wrap — so that she vanishes into the moonless night like a dark lotus on a lake, unseen even by watchful eyes. Only the bees, drawn helplessly to the fragrance she cannot disguise, betray that she has gone out to meet Krsna.
