Radha-sakhya eva krishna-sandeshah
A Letter to Krishna from Radha’s Gopi-friend
Verse 359
When She sees that You, Her
beloved, the splendid moon
that dispels the darkness
in the courtyard of the sky,
have gone far away, Her sighs
become like lotus buds, Her
face becomes like a lotus flower
with petals closed, Her love
for You becomes like a churning
ocean of milk with great waves,
and Her eyes become like two
melting candrakanta jewels.
– Sri Bhima Bhatta
