Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa’s sweet fatigue

Vrajendu [Kṛṣṇa] felt immense joy beholding His beloved Rādhā resting on His lap in the gentle light of dawn. Rādhā, feigning soft weeping, smiled slightly. Rādhā’s braid was loose, Her garlands crushed and Her jewel necklaces were broken. Rādhikā was externally exhausted but internally elated. She repeatedly opened Her tired rolling eyes to eagerly gaze upon Her lover. Śrī Rādhā, languid from intense amorous pastimes, offered the golden lotus of Her body to Kṛṣṇa, whose body resembled a dark blue tamāla tree. If a streak of lightning could permanently rest on a dark rain cloud, it could be compared to Rādhā lying in the arms of Śyāma.

Śrī Hari’s handsome face, framed by fickle locks of hair and fragrant as a lotus flower, was beautified with makara earrings, a gentle smile and eyes indolent with pleasure. Lotus-eyed Rādhā became eager to enjoy again upon admiring Śyāma’s limbs decorated with bite marks and smudges of kajjala. Rādhā’s soft smile and Her eyes lowered out of shyness ignited Śyāma’s desire for amorous affairs. Kṛṣṇa slowly lifted Rādhā’s lowered head with His left hand. Raising Rādhā’s chin with His right hand, Kṛṣṇa bent His neck and kissed the smiling cheeks of Rādhikā’s lovely lotus face. Rādhā submerged in an ocean of happiness from the touch of Her lover’s lips. Yet with Her eyes half closed and Her delicate hands trembling, Rādhā softly uttered, “No, no!” Rādhā’s contrary mood delighted the onlooking sakhīs.

“Today the incomparable beauty and sweetness of My youth, unrivalled in the three worlds, have attained perfection because they have been blissfully enjoyed by My beloved.” While Rādhikā thought like this, Kṛṣṇa consumed all the nectar of Her extraordinary sweetness with His eyes. Rādhā flushed with boundless joy. She then made Kṛṣṇa’s lotus face the playground of Her enchanting side- long glances.

[In a mood of svādhina-bhartṛkā, controlling one’s lover] Rādhā said, “O playful one, Your erotic pastimes have caused My clothes and ornaments to fall off and scatter. My sakhīs have not come yet, so why don’t You quickly dress Me as before? Apply Your cleverness in decorating Me. You must beg forgiveness for offending Our cherished deity Anaṅgadeva [god of love] by taking him from the temple of Our minds for worship and not replacing him. You have not yet removed the fingernail scratches, the signs of Cupid’s worship, from My body. Now please do it by applying musk and kuṅkuma. Then You may reinstall Cupid in his proper place.”
Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the crest-jewel of relishers, replied, “O dearest! You have spoken correctly. Cupid is clearly visible on the throne of Your body. Therefore, I will now worship our iṣṭa-deva with cloth, ornaments, perfume, flowers, garlands and sandalwood paste.” Kṛṣṇa-bhāvanāmṛtam 2.20-24

Rādhā’s talented maidservants eagerly offered Kṛṣṇa the clothing and ornaments suitable for Cupid’s worship.
