Translation

Lalitā: (Taken the letter and reads aloud) If, even though the black bee has not committed any offense, the madhavi creeper still tossess it aside with its a moving newly blossommed tendril, then the buzzing bee will simply enjoy other pastimes, buzzing with sweet words among the lotus flowers.

Note: In this allegory Kṛṣṇa is the black bee, Rādhā is the mādhavi creeper, and Rādhā's gopi rivals are the lotus flowers.

Disguised as red flowers, flames shoot from the branches of that asoka tree. Disguised as new buds on that kimsuka tree, the cruel half-moon arrows of the archer cupid are aimed at Me to cut Me to pieces. (She becomes overwhelmed).

Note: The word "candravali" in this verse is, of course, also the name of the gopi who is Rādhā's chief rival. "Candravali" also means "a host (avali) of moons (candra)."

Kṛṣṇa: (Quickly approaches Her, takes Her hand, and loudly proclaims) O beautiful, delicate girl, why are You distressed for no reason? Even a whole Candravali wilts with fear at the sight of Your beautiful face. O girl blinded with love, what then can half a Candravali do to You?

Note: In His reply Kṛṣṇa, of course interprets the word "candravali" in a way different from Rādhā's original intention. If the word "candravali" is interpreted to mean "a host of moons", Kṛṣṇa's reply would then read:

"O beautiful, delicate girl, why are You distressed for no reason. Even a host of full moons wilts with fear at the sight of Your beautiful face. O girl blinded with love, what then can a host of half moons do to You?"
