The
moon rose, anointing the face of the eastern horizon with the reddish
hue of comforting rays and dispelling the pain of all who watched him
rise. The moon was like a beloved husband who returns home after a long
absence and adorns the face of his beloved wife. When the young women
of Vrndavana heard Krishna's flute song, their minds were captivated by
the Lord. They went to where their lover waited, each unknown to the others,
moving ever so quickly. When Krishna reappeared before the gopis prior
to the rasa dance, they were overwhelmed with happiness. He was especially
happy to be once again in the company of Radha
Ornaments
caress Krishna's body, but the transcendental body of Krishna is so beautiful
that it beautifies the ornaments He wears. Therefore Krishna's body is
the ornament of ornaments. Enhancing the wonderful beauty of Krishna is
His curved style of standing, which beautifies that form. Above all these
beautiful features, Krishna's eyes dance and move obliquely, acting like
arrows to pierce the minds of Radha and the other gopis. When the arrow
succeeds in hitting its target, their minds become agitated.

Krishna
says " I am complete bliss, full of all rasas. All the world derives
pleasure from Me. Is there anyone who can give Me pleasure? One who
has a hundred times more qualities than Me could give pleasure to My
mind. One more qualified than Me is impossible to find in the material
world. But in Radha alone I feel the presence of one who can give Me
pleasure.
