English translation
An example, from Lalita-mādhava [1.14]:
“By drinking the nectar of the Gaṅgā in the form of Rādhā’s sweet smile, as it mixes at the Triveṇī junction with the waves of the Yamunā in the form of the dark tips of Kṛṣṇa’s eyes, and by extinguishing the rising heat by bathing slightly in the cool water of the satisfied mind, we have surpassed the seven worlds and now live in the topmost planet. ”
