Text 196] Performance of the Vrndavana Pastimes 317
TRANSLATION
“‘When Srimati Radharani was decorated with the ornament of lalita-
alankara, just to increase Sri Krsna’s love, an attractive curve was manifest by
Her neck, knees and waist. This was brought about by Her timidity and ap-
parent desire to avoid Krsna. The flickering movements of Her eyebrows
could conquer the powerful bow of Cupid. To increase the joy of Her
beloved’s love, Her body was decorated with the ornaments of lalita-
alankara.’
PURPORT
This verse is quoted from Govinda-lilamrta (9.14).
