Incomparable Beauty

“Today my incomparable beauty and boundless sweetness of youth have reached perfection because they have been lovingly enjoyed by my sweetheart.” (KRSNa-BhAvanAmRtam 2.20)

saivaM vicintya kSaNam Aha kAntaM tad-akSi-pItAkhila-mAdhurIkA |

While Radha was thinking like that, Krishna began to drink in her beauty with his eyes. Sensing his gaze, Radha felt unbounded joy within her heart and made Krishna’s lotus face the playground of her sidelong glances. (KRSNa-BhAvanAmRtam 2.21)
