A full moon comes before Me and turns My eyes into two cakora birds that live by drinking it's moonbeams. In this moon are two splendid bandhka flowers disguised as lips. These two flowers have turned My eyes into two bumblebees eager to drink its honey. Here are also two round pomegranates disguised as breasts. These pomegranates have turned My eyes into two parrots eager to taste them. Who is this wonderful lotus flower that has appeared before Me? This lotus has transformed Me into a swan that passionately yearns to play among it's petals.

He was like Kmadeva's club, raised to smash the advancing armies of the gops' peaceful composure. He was like a splendid decoration on the silk-turban crown of Govardhana, the king of mountains. Rdha' embraced Him with a crooked sidelong glance, She wavered with unsteadiness as She spoke the following words:

Although She yearned to hear such playful joking words from Ka, Rdha' crookedly rebuked Him with these angry words. When Rdh, whose beautiful face is worshiped by the moon itself, began to walk away with Her friends, She was forcibly stopped by Ka, the moon of Vraja.

A single drop of this sweet nectar enables the drinker to immediately reject hundred of inferior material desires. Although for thousands of times I repeatedly drink this ocean of nectar in the astonihed cup of my ear, I remain always unsatiated and simpy desire to continue drinking without interruption.
