(Vṛndā enters). Vṛndā: (Looking in all directions) The breeze carries the sweet aroma scent of the bloming kadamba flowers, the jubilantly buzzing bees assemble on the yuthi flowers, the peacocks dance, and the earth is green with grass. Now that it is autumn, these twelve forests of Vṛndāvana delight my heart.

Candrāvalī: (Smiling, she looks ahead, and says in Sanskrit:) I think the creepers have noticed the overflowing greed of the intoxicated bumble-bees, and the creepers are now laughing with the great beauty of their flowers. On the pretext of dripping honey, this one delicate golden yuthi flower sheds tears of love.

Lalitā: O noble lady, what fault is there for the western horizon, who simply desired to follow the lord of her life, her husband Varuna? What fault is there for the sun, who personally removes the fault of the darkness of night? It is the sunset who has become the matchmaker bringing them both together and making them both red, who is at fault.

Note: In this little allegory the western horizon is Candrāvalī, the sun is Kṛṣṇa, and the sunset is Padmā. The meeting of Candrāvalī-Kṛṣṇa is not be blamed on either Candrāvalī or Kṛṣṇa. The blame goes to the matchmaker Padmā.
