An example:
“ ‘O mother! I am your son Abhimanyu. Kṛṣṇa is coming here wearing my clothes.’ Believing Kṛṣṇa’s words, Jaṭilā her eyes red with anger, began shouting and driving here real son from the yard, as he tried to say ‘Mother! Mother!’ The lips of Rādhā’s friends became gleaming white with the luster of their teeth.”
