(1) With the edge of her garment a beautiful gopi gets shy and covers her face. She has become like a greedy bumblebee or a cakora bird. Yearning and yearning, she walks. (2) Is the half-covered circle of her face really an autumn lotus? Is her forehead a moon on the eighth night? She enchants Krishna's heart. Now He is bewildered. What does Krishna think now? (3) The palm of her hand eclipses the land-growing lotus. The moons of her fingernails enchant and bewilder Krishna. Now He is overcome. (4) She bends the archer's bow of her eyebrows. An arrow is fired. Now Krishna trembles. Did Kamadeva's arrow strike Krishna's head? Govinda dasa says: Lord Krishna's heart is now consumed by flames.
