Aniruddha–Rocanā Marriage Context
इत्थं रमापतिमवाप्य पतिं स्त्रियस्ता ब्रह्मादयोऽपि न विदु: पदवीं यदीयाम् । भेजुर्मुदाविरतमेधितयानुराग- हासावलोकनवसङ्गमलालसाद्यम् ॥ ५ ॥
itthaṁ ramā-patim avāpya patiṁ striyas tā brahmādayo ’pi na viduḥ padavīṁ yadīyām bhejur mudāviratam edhitayānurāga- hāsāvaloka-nava-saṅgama-lālasādyam
یوں اُن عورتوں نے لکشمی پتی کو شوہر کے طور پر پا لیا، جس کے مقام تک پہنچنے کی راہ برہما وغیرہ دیوتا بھی نہیں جانتے۔ بڑھتی ہوئی مسرّت کے ساتھ وہ اُس کے لیے محبت میں ڈوبیں، مسکراہٹ بھری نگاہیں بدلیں، ہر دم تازہ قربت کی مشتاق رہیں اور طرح طرح سے لذت پاتی رہیں۔
This text describes the intense conjugal attraction the queens felt for Lord Kṛṣṇa.
