dened with dalliance, and in the tinkling of the bangles, like the buzzing of 
bees, clustered round your sweet lotus feet. 
20. Blessed Badhika, wreathed with the surge of a Ganges wave of 
heavenly dalliance, with lovely lotus face and navel as a whirl in the stream, 
hastening on to the confluence with Krishna, that ocean of sweetness, draw 
near to me. 
21. When, 0 blessed Badhika, shall I rest upon my head your lotus 
feet, Govinda’s life and all, that ever rain down upon the faithful abundant 
torrents of the honeyed flood of the ocean of perfect love P 
22. When, 0 Badha, stately as an elephant in gait, shall I accompany 
you to the bower of assignation, to shew the way, bearing divinely sweet 
sandal wood, and perfumes and spices, as you march in the excitement of 
love’s rapture ? 
23. When, 0 blessed Badha, having gone to some secluded slope of 
the Jamuna and there rubbing with fragrant unguents your ambrosial 
limbs, the very life of Love, when shall I see your prince of lusty swains, 
with longing eyes, mounted on some high Jcadcimb tree ? 
24. When, O blessed Badhika, shall I behold your heavenly face, 
clustered—as if with bees—with wanton curls, like some lotus blossoming 
in a lake of purest love, or a moon swelling an ocean of enjoyment, an 
ocean of delight. 
25. Ah ! the name of Badha, perfection of loveliness, perfection of 
delight, sole perfection of happiness, perfection of pity, perfection of honeyed 
beauty and grace, perfection of wit, perfection of the rapturous joys of 
love, perfection of all the most perfect that my soul can conceive ! 
170. 0 ye wise, if there be any one desirous of marvellous happiness, 
let him fill the pitcher of his ears and drink in this panegyric, called the 
Masa-sudhd-nidhi, or 1 Treasury of Love’s delights.’
