English translation

Translation

Madhumaṅgala: (in Sanskrit) She has the splendor of many beautiful campaka flowers. Her voice is filled with the sweet sounds of many jubilant cuckoos. Within Her are the graceful motions of many swans. She is beautiful with many black deer. Look at Her! (He is interrupted in the middle of his words.)

Note: The word "kṛṣṇasārādhikā" was intended by Madhuamaṅgala to mean "filled (adhika) with black deer (kṛṣṇasāra)". Kṛṣṇa, however, interpreted the words to be kṛṣṇa sā rādhikā", which mean "O Kṛṣṇa (kṛṣṇa) this is (sā) Rādhikā (rādhikā)" What Madhumaṅgala intended to be a description of Vṛndāvana forest, Kṛṣṇa interpreted to be a description of Rādhā. Kṛṣṇa interrupted Madhumaṅgala before he could finish.
