Abandoning the false ego of a male enjoyer, today I have become a maidservant, O Kān!

Verse 4
I will carefully place those garlands in the hands of one of Rādhā’s girlfriends, and she will lovingly accept them in her hands.
Verse 5
Rādhā’s girlfriend will place those garlands around the necks of You both. From afar, I will behold this in wonder.
