‘Dear Krsna, we have simply surrendered ourselves as Your maidservants,
for we have seen Your beautiful face decorated with tresses of hair, Your
earrings falling upon Your cheeks and the nectar of Your lips. We have also
seen the beauty of Your smile and have been embraced by Your arms, which
give us courage. Because we have seen Your chest, which is beautiful and
broad, we have surrendered ourselves.’
