<a id="line-6"></a>Gauri, who is renowned for her fair complexion yet,  
<a id="line-7"></a>how astonishing it is that in Braj, She is known as  
<a id="line-8"></a>Shyama, the dark complexioned woman. Actually ‘Shyama’  
<a id="line-9"></a>refers to the one, who is totally absorbed in the love of Shyam.
