TWENTIETH ASHTAPADI---JAYADEVA

 The words of Radha and her pathetic state move the heart of Krishna and He decides to meet Radha. Krishna has now adorned himself suitably and has pleased her by His delectable talk. He is now engaged in arranging the flowery bed at the bush cottage! In the meantime, a beautiful maid with adornments addresses Radha in the evening!

“O Radha! Krishna is making amorous advances towards you and speaking with affection! He is now prostrating at your feet! Act according to His will even as he is engaged in arranging the bed of flowers! He has taken refuge in you!”


“O Radha! Walk steadily with your heavy buttocks and breasts and the resounding diamond studded anklets! Follow the royal gait of the Swan! Enjoy Krishna’s conjugal bliss!”


“O Radha! Hear the fine and mellifluous and bewitching music of the bees! Fix your mind on group of cuckoos that praise you under the mandate of Manmatha!”


“O Radha! The creepers are dancing in the wind as if they are instigated by the tender and delicate hands of leaves! Your movement shouldn't be late even for a second!”


“O Radha! Enquire about your breasts that move like the waves of Manmatha and those had the Fortune of Sri Hari's embrace!”


“O Radha! This body of yours is ready for the conjugal bliss with Krishna! It is now clear for all your maids! O angry Radha! Reach Krishna with the loud sound of your waist belt and with love and affection! Cast away all your modesty before Krishna!”


“O Radha!  Proceed like the flower arrows of Madana! Inform the nature of your gait through the sound of your clanging Bangles!”


“This ASHTAPADI, composed by poet Jayadeva mocks at the garland of pearls, shall always remain in the neck of the devotees who have fixed Krishna in their hearts!”
