Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.87-90

पतद्ग्राहमुपादाय दासिका गुणमञ्जरी ।

ताम्बूलं चर्वितं ताभ्यो विभजन्ती बहिर्ययौ ॥

The dāsī named Guṇa Mañjarī took the spittoon from the bower, removed the tāmbūla that Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa had chewed and shared it among all the other sakhīs.

मञ्जुलाली तयोरङ्गाच्च्युत-माल्यानुलेपनम् ।

तल्पादादाय सर्वाभ्यः प्रयच्छन्ती विनिर्गता ॥

Mañjulālī Mañjarī collected the garlands and sandalwood paste that had fallen from Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa’s bodies and distributed them to everyone outside.

विलोक्याग्रे मेघाम्बर-वृतशरीरं प्रियतमं

वयस्यां तां पीताम्बर-परिवृताङ्गीं प्रमुदिताम् ।

हसन्त्यस्ताः सख्यः करपिहित-मुख्यः प्रतिदिशं

दिशन्त्यश्चान्योन्यं कुटिलचलदृग्भिर्मुमुदिरे ॥

When the sakhīs noticed that Kṛṣṇa was wearing Rādhā’s blue cloth and their joyful friend Rādhā was wearing Kṛṣṇa’s yellow cloth, they had to cover their mouths with their hands to conceal the laughter. They had great fun using subtle eye gestures to point out to each other that the exchange had occurred.

समीक्ष्य तासां परिहासभङ्गीमन्योन्यवक्त्रार्पित-फुल्लनेत्रौ ।

समुच्छलत्प्रेमसुखाब्धि-मग्नौ चित्रार्पिताङ्गाविव तावभूताम् ॥

After seeing the sakhīs try to hide their laughter, Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, submerged in the surging ocean of love, stood gazing with wide eyes at each other’s face, motionless as though figures in a painting.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.83-84

माहेन्द्रकान्तच्छदनं सकाञ्चनं दान्तं ससिन्दूर-समुद्गकं परा ।

आपन्नसत्त्वा-कुचकुट्मलोपमं कुञ्जाद् गृहीत्वा निरगान्मृदुस्मिता ॥

Another sakhī picked up a vermilion box, made of ivory inlaid with sapphires and gold. Seeing that the box resembled the budding breast of a pregnant woman, she smiled softly and took it from the kuñja.

आश्लेष-सञ्छिन्नगुणात्परिच्युतं हाराल्लसन्मौक्तिक-सञ्चयं मुदा ।

विचित्य काचित्स्वपटाञ्चले दृढं निबध्नती कुञ्जगृहाद्विनिर्ययौ ॥

Because of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa’s firm embrace, their necklaces had broken and the lustrous pearls had scattered about. One sakhī found them all, happily tied them tightly in the border of her own cloth and brought them out of the bower.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.80-82

परिवर्तितसंव्यानौ मिथस्तावथ शङ्कितौ ।

परस्परकरालम्बौ निरगातां निकुञ्जतः ॥

Wearing each other’s clothing and feeling anxious, Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa held hands as they emerged from the bower. 

राधा-पाणिं सव्येऽसव्ये पाणौ बिभ्रद् वेणुं कृष्णः ।

रेजे कुञ्जान्निर्यन् यद्वद् विद्युन्मालाश्लिष्टाम्भोदः ॥

As Kṛṣṇa left the kuñja, holding Śrīmatī’s hand in his left hand and his flute in his right, it appeared as though a beautiful rain-cloud were embracing a streak of lightning.

हैमं भृङ्गारमेका व्यजनमथ परा स्वर्णदण्डं दधाना

काप्यादर्शं सुदर्शं घुसृण-मलयजाऽमत्रमन्या विचित्रम् ।

काचित्ताम्बूलपात्रं मणिचितमपरा सारिकां पञ्जरस्थाम्

इत्थं सख्यः कियत्याः प्रमुदितहृदया निर्ययुः कुञ्जगेहात् ॥

Then, as the sakhīs joyfully left the bower house, someone carried a golden pitcher, someone held a fan with a golden handle, and someone else held a lovely mirror. One sakhī carried a multicolored container for saffron and sandalwood, another carried a jeweled vessel for tāmbūla, and someone else held a caged mynah.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.79

कृष्णोऽपि कान्तं वृषभानुजायाः पश्यन् मुखं भीति-विलोलनेत्रम् ।

नीलं सुचीनं दयितानिचोलं गृह्णन् स्वतल्पात् त्वरयोदतिष्ठत् ॥

Seeing Rādhā’s anxious, restless eyes and her lovely face, Kṛṣṇa picked up her fine blue scarf and also quickly rose from the bed.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.77-78

शङ्कापङ्काकलित-हृदया शङ्कतेऽस्या धवाम्बा छिद्रान्वेषी पतिरतिकटुः सार्थनामाभिमन्युः ।

रुष्टाभीक्ष्णं परिवदति सा हा ननन्दापि मन्दा प्रातर्जातं तदपि सरलां कृष्ण नैनां जहासि ॥

“O Kṛṣṇa! The heart of Rādhā’s mother-in-law is covered with the mud of fear and therefore she is always suspicious. Rādhā’s husband Abhimanyu lives up to his name by being disagreeable, angry and finding fault with others. Her dull-headed sister-in-law is always grouchy and very critical. Why are you not leaving this simple-hearted girl even though the night has ended?” 

सारीवचो-मन्दरशैलपात-संक्षुब्धहृद्दुग्धपयोधिरेषा ।

अथोद्भ्रमन्नेत्र-नवीनमीना वियोगदीना शयनादुदस्थात् ॥

The mynah’s words were like Mandara Mountain falling into Rādhā’s milk-ocean heart. She became very agitated and her eyes began to whirl like two young fish swimming about. Feeling depressed at the thought of leaving Kṛṣṇa, she finally rose from the bed.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.73-74

गुरुलज्जा-भर्तृभीति-लोकहास-निवारिका ।

शुभाख्या सारिका प्राह राधिका-बोधसाधिका ॥

To prevent Rādhikā from being embarrassed before her elders, fearful of her husband and being laughed at by the villagers, the mynah named Śubhā, who is very skilled at awakening her, began to speak.

आगन्ता ग्राहयित्वा तव पतिरधुना गोष्ठतः क्षीरभारान्

उत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ राधे तदिह कुरु गृहे मङ्गलां वास्तुपूजाम् ।

इत्थं यावद्धवाम्बा तव नहि शयनादुत्थिता वावदीति

तावच्छय्यानिकेतं व्रज सखि निभृतं कुञ्जतः कञ्जनेत्रे ॥

“O lotus-eyed one! Your mother-in-law will soon rise from bed and say, ‘Rādhe! Your husband and the servants are on the way from the pasturing ground carrying their loads of milk. You must quickly get up and do the pūjā for an auspicious home.’ O Sakhi! Before she can say these words, please leave this kuñja and secretly return to your bedroom.”

Some time back I stopped using a server that had some files on it that were linked to this blog. I've updated some of the links but haven't yet taken the time to go through the entire archive. If you run across a link that doesn't work, let me know in a comment where I can find it, as in which year and which month. Thanks.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.72

विलोक्य लीलामृतसिन्धुमग्नौ तौ ताः सखीश्च प्रणयोन्मदान्धाः ।

वृन्दा प्रभातोदयजातशङ्का निजेङ्गितज्ञां निदिदेश सारीम् ॥

Vṛndā saw that Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa were immersed within the ocean of līlāmṛta and the sakhīs had been blinded by the intoxication of love. Concerned that daybreak had arrived, she gestured an order to one of the mynah birds.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.70

हेलोल्लासादरमुकुलिता बाष्पसान्द्रारुणान्ता लज्जा-शङ्का-चपलचकिता भङ्गुरेर्ष्याभरेण ।

स्मेरस्मेरा दयितवदनालोकनोत्फुल्लतारा राधादृष्टिर्दयित-नयनानन्दमुच्चैर्व्यतानीत् ॥

Śrīmatī’s eyes were radiant with passion, squinting slightly, full of tears and red with anger. They moved restlessly and appeared timid from her fear of being embarrassed. Then she saw Kṛṣṇa’s lotus face and her eyes began to widen as her gentle smile reappeared. Seeing this, Kṛṣṇa’s eyes also blossomed with joy.

Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 1.69

इति निगदति कृष्णे वीक्ष्य साग्रे वयस्याः प्रहसित-वदनास्ताः सङ्कुचल्लोल-नेत्रा ।

विकसदमलगण्डं दोलितारेचितभ्रूः प्रियमनृजुकटाक्षैः पश्यति स्म घ्नतीव ॥

When Rādhā heard Kṛṣṇa’s taunting remark and saw her sakhīs giggling in front of her, her restless eyes contracted and her bright, flawless cheeks began to tremble.  Frowning, she hurled a piercing sidelong glance as if to impale Kṛṣṇa.
