Radha as Khandita and Vipralabdha Nayika
Though split asunder by the arrows of love, Radha somehow managed to pass the night. When Her beloved came at dawn, falling at Her feet and humbly attempting to pacify Her, She condemned Him in Her jealous anger.Your reddish, drowsy, half-closed eyes tell of Your wakeful night passed in the flurry of lovemaking and expose Your ardent passion for that vraja-sundari. “Go, Mädhava! Go away, Keshava! Do not ply Me with Your deceptive words. O lotus-eyed one, go to that agreeable damsel who is quite capable of removing Your sorrow.”
