Kṛṣṇāhnika-Kaumudī 1.42-43

पथि पिशुनमतिभ्यः शङ्कमानौ गुरुभ्यः चलचकित-तरङ्गौ निक्षिपन्तावपाङ्गौ ।
परम-गुण-गभीरौ काम-संग्रामधीरौ ययतू रति-वितन्द्रौ राधिका-कृष्णचन्द्रौ ॥

     Rādhikā and Kṛṣṇacandra, valiant but tired warriors in Kāmadeva’s battle, were very solemn as they walked carefully on the path. Fearful of their critical elders, they cast restless, timid glances here and there from the corners of their eyes.

न पथि न भवने वा लक्षितौ तौ वने वा सहज-सदनुरक्त्या स्वीययानन्द-शक्त्या ।
परिजन-नयनानामुत्सवानादधानावथ पथि विहरन्तौ रेजतुर्लोक-कान्तौ ॥

     They shone beautifully as they moved along, unseen by anyone on the path, in the forest or from their homes. Due to their natural affection and personal joy, they were much loved and the delight of all their friends’ eyes.
