English translation
An example:
“O Rādhā! You were agitated by the churning rod of indignation. What shall I say to You? Go away! I am burning up just being near You! Though the peacock feather decorating Kṛṣṇa’s hair was fanning the tips of Your toes when He bowed down to You, You were red-faced with anger.”
