The sakhi described Krishna’s waiting to Radha. He stayed in woodland beside the Yamuna. A gentle breeze surrounded the place.
Krishna played his flute softly. Radha’s name was woven into the melody. Its sound was a signal calling her toward him.
Even a particle carried on the breeze was precious to him, if it had previously touched her body. In the verse, the slightest contact with Radha receives special value.
When a bird’s wings fluttered or leaves rustled, Krishna wondered whether she was approaching. He prepared a resting place and watched the path with anxious eyes.
