Summary :          This song is the renowned 6th Ashtapadi from the 12th-century lyrical classic Gita Govinda, dedicated to Lord Krishna (Hari / Govinda / Jagannatha). The hymn depicts Radha's intense pangs of separation (viraha) as narrated to Krishna by her companion (sakhi), who describes how Radha languishes in the bower waiting for Him. Overwhelmed by longing, Radha gazes in all directions imagining Krishna tasting the nectar of her lips, collapses while trying to take a few steps to meet Him, and mistaking the dark rainclouds and shadows for Krishna Himself, embraces and kisses them in anguish. The song captures the pinnacle of divine love and spiritual yearning, imploring Lord Hari to alleviate her suffering. No specific earthly temple is mentioned in the verses.

Shlokam: Radha's friend sees her longing for Krishna and unable to leave the bower where she has waited for him. The friend describes Radha's emotional state to Krishna.

Pallavi: Radha looks anxiously in every direction, imagining Krishna secretly enjoying the sweetness of another woman's lips. She suffers from jealousy and separation.

Dhruvapadam: Radha languishes in her waiting chamber, calling upon Hari, the Lord of the universe, in her distress.

Charanam 1: In her eagerness to meet Krishna, Radha hurries towards their rendezvous but stumbles and loses her footing as she walks.

Charanam 2: Radha adorns herself with delicate ornaments made from lotus fibres and tender shoots. She sustains herself through memories and anticipation of intimacy with Krishna.

Charanam 3: Radha repeatedly examines her adornments and becomes absorbed in thoughts of Krishna, imagining their meeting and experiencing the emotions of love in his absence.

Charanam 4: She repeatedly asks her companion why Hari has not yet arrived for their secret rendezvous, unable to bear the delay.

Charanam 5: In the darkness, Radha imagines that Krishna has arrived. She embraces and kisses the darkness itself, mistaking it for her beloved.

Charanam 6: As the night advances and Krishna remains absent, Radha loses her shyness. Dressed and prepared for their meeting, she breaks down in lamentation and tears.

Charanam 7: The concluding verse identifies the composition as the work of the poet Jayadeva and expresses the wish that it bring great joy to sensitive listeners and lovers of poetry.
