Artistic illustration of the story

In Kamyavana, Radha and Krishna played hide-and-seek. The poem points to the unusual nature of this play. Through it, the sweetness of Their companionship shone.

When the sakhis spoke about these pastimes, Radha and Krishna became stunned and motionless. The poet likens Them to figures in a painting.
