kahūṁ kā chhavi sakhi! gore gwāla

English meaning

Kishorī Jī has disguised Herself as Shyāmasundara, seeing which, a sakhī says to her friend, “Oh sakhi! Today, the beauty of that fair-complexioned cowherd-boy was a sight worth-watching! A turban was tied on His head in a slanting manner; His curly locks of hair were also tilted. The peacock-feather-crescent was also tied on His forehead in a slanting way and even the tilaka on His forehead was askew. His eyes were slanting and so was His side-long glance of love. Even the flute was held by Him in the slanting fashion. The garland of forest flowers adorning His neck was also curved and so were the kiṅkiṇī around His waist and the anklets festooning His feet. His uniquely swaying gait was also curved.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that the most oblique was His smile, seeing which even curved Shyāmasundara was feeling low.
