Viharati Saha Radhikaya Rangi
Playfully sporting with Radhika, waves of joy rippling through him, Hari revels here on the sweet, honeyed banks of Vrndavana.
Radha sprays the enemy of Agha with liquid kunkuma shot from her syringe; and he, just as boldly, drenches his beloved with torrents of fragrant musk-water.
That youthful couple fling fresh, deep crimson-red powder at one another, again and again crying out, "I've won! I've won!" as they act out the playful sport of the bodiless god of love.
Subala claps his hands loudly, declaring, "Vanamali has won!" — while Lalita says, "Look, my friend has defeated Sanatana's beloved!"
