VERSE 58:

KṚṢṆA MAÑJULA TĀPIÑCHE VILASAT SVARṆA YŪTHIKĀ
GOVINDA NAVYA PĀTHODE STHIRA VIDYUL LATĀDBHUTĀ

She shines like a golden Yūthikā-vine on the lovely Tamāla-tree named Kṛṣṇa
and She is a wonderful steady lightning-vine on the fresh Govinda-raincloud.

Stavāmṛta Kaṇā Vyākhyā:

A young Tamāla-tree is as glossy and black as can be, and that’s why Śyāmasundara is compared to a young Tamāla-tree. Of course Kṛṣṇa’s glossiness and His complexion cannot be compared with anything worldly, but the deeply realised poets try to help the practising devotees to visualise Him by making such comparisons.

The young Tamāla-tree is the most glossy, Śyāma-complexioned and enchanting object that can be found as an object of comparison for the people of the world, although actually Kṛṣṇa’s sweetness, beauty and luster are actually incomparable!

Anyway, Rādhikā is like a golden vine that entwines a young Tamāla-tree. Śrī Kṛṣṇa is a fresh monsoon cloud and Śrī Rādhā is a wonderful lightning-vine.

In this world a lightningstrike is flickering, but Śrī Rādhā is a steady lightningstrike!
In this world the lightingflashes hurt the eyes, but the light that emanates from Śrī Rādhā is soothing the eyes with the cool and pleasant illumination of the pinnacle of love (gātre koṭi taḍicchabih – Rādhā Rasa Sudhānidhi 99). This is what makes the Rādhā-lightning adbhuta, or amazing!

VERSE 59:

GRĪṢME GOVINDA SARVĀṄGE CANDRA CANDANA CANDRIKĀ
ŚĪTE ŚYĀMA ŚUBHĀṄGEṢU PĪTA PAṬṬA LASAT PAṬĪ

In the summer She is soothing sandalpaste, camphor and moonlight on all of Govinda’s limbs and in the winter She is a beautiful yellow silken garment that covers Śyāma’s auspicious limbs.

Stavāmṛta Kaṇā Vyākhyā:

Sandalwood pulp, camphor and moon beams are pleasant and soothing in the summertime when the sun is fiercely shining. In the same way Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī gives Śyāmasundara the greatest delight in the summer. In the winter Śrīmatī protects Śyāmasundara’s auspicious limbs from the cold by serving as a yellow silken garment for Him.

VERSE 60:

MADHAU KṚṢṆA TARŪLLĀSE MADHU ŚRĪR MADHURĀKṚTIḤ
MAÑJU MALLĀRA RĀGA ŚRĪḤ PRĀVṚṢI ŚYĀMA HARṢIṆĪ

In the spring She is the vernal goddess of fortune that delights the Kṛṣṇa-tree with Her sweet form and in the monsoon-time She delights Śyāma with the beautiful Mallāra rāga.

Stavāmṛta Kaṇā Vyākhyā:

In the spring the trees drop their old leaves and become beautified by fresh leaves, buds and sprouts. Śrīmatī Rādhikā is the Vasanta Śrī, the vernal goddess of fortune who makes the Śyāma-tree blossom with delight. The Mallāra Rāga is a graceful melody which is sung in the rainy season. Just as the Mallāra-rāga causes the monsoon-clouds to blissfully shower, similarly Śrī Rādhārāṇī delights the Śyāma-raincloud in the monsoon-time and acts like the Mallāra-rāga that causes Him to shower various tasty pastimes.
