Krishna is dancing in a medley of moods and poses.

His crown sways, his eye-brows move,

Displaying the arts of a clever dancer.

When with passion he moves his arms, what grace the movements bless!

Now he dances after the gait of ladies and now in a manner of his own.

The poet's lord is the jewel of the passionate
