The second Śrī Kuñja-vihāry-aṣṭakam. Obeisance to him who sports in the bowers. His beauty is charming with an unbroken smile, the companion of love, and he seems swallowed by the waves of Rādhā's sidelong gestures. His moonlike face is joyful, he wears a peacock-feather crown, and his sweetness shines like a raincloud as he sports in the bower.
