Text 88] Rescuing the Lord from the Sea 157
TRANSLATION
“The gopis were like steady streaks of lightning, and Krsna resembled a
blackish cloud. The lightning began sprinkling water upon the cloud, and the
cloud upon the lightning. Like thirsty cataka birds, the eyes of the gopis
joyously drank the nectarean water from the cloud.
