Śrīmatī is the ocean of “lāvaṇya”

Śrīmatī is the ocean of “lāvaṇya”.

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī defines lāvaṇya as follows in his ‘Ujjvala Nīlamaṇi’:

muktāphaleṣu chāyāyās taralatvam ivāntarā
pratibhāti yad aṅgeṣu lāvaṇyam tad ihocyate

“The luster that gushes out of each bodily limb like the luster shining out from inside pearls, is called lāvaṇya.”

Śrīmati is the ocean of lāvaṇya, or elegance.

The fish-like eyes of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Who is called lāvanya sāra (the essence of lāvaṇya, or elegance) in Śrīmat Bhāgavata (10.44.14), never get tired of swimming in the ocean of Śrī Rādhā’s lāvaṇya.
Indeed, His desire to swim in that ocean simply increases!

Śrīpāda Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura said in Kṛṣṇa Karṇāmṛtam (3):
lāvānyāmṛta vīci lolita dṛśaṁ – “Kṛṣṇa’s eyes billow on the waves of nectarean lāvanya.”

Śrīla Kṛṣṇa Dāsa Kavirāja writes in his ‘Sāraṅga Raṅgadā’-commentary on this verse: śrī rādhāyā eva lāvanyāmṛta vīcibhir lolite satṛṣṇīkṛte dṛśau yasya tam –
“Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s eyes have become very thirsty after the nectar-waves of Śrī Rādhā’s lāvaṇya.”

Because Kṛṣṇa is intoxicated by seeing Rādhā’s lāvaṇya, Her maidservants and girlfriends are intoxicated by seeing Kṛṣṇa looking at Rādhikā like this.

The ocean of lāvaṇya is compared to the third cosmic ocean, the ocean of wine.
The practicing devotees should also forget everything related to this world or the next world and become intoxicated by worshiping the lotus-feet of that Śrī Rādhā! (5)
