“O Sudati (One with nice teeth)! Drunken honeybees, having rested in the laps of white water lilies for the night, become restless now and excitedly move to the blooming lotuses! The cause of the bees shaking off their languor and becoming joyful can only be the time of day.” (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 1.7)

In this way, after hearing the sweet, pleasant words of the parrots and mynahs, Sri Radha awoke, able to sleep no longer. Then Sri Krishna also awoke, satisfied by his restful slumber. (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 1.28)

As they both gave up their drowsiness, their eyes opened simultaneously and they began to cast charming side-long glances at each other. Then their minds began to whirl and they became very disturbed, so much so that it interfered with their vision of each other. This made them very unhappy. (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 1.29)
