“When Sri Radha suddenly saw Sri Krishna before her, at first she stopped walking and then began again, but on a zigzag course. She scrunched up her face and slightly covered it with her blue cloth. Her eyes were wide, restless and looking downward. Beautified by her ornament known as vilAsa, Sri Radha gave Sri Krishna great joy.” (Govinda-LilAmRtam 9.11)
