Translation

Verse 1

Radha, expert in water sports, plays with Madhuripu, the enemy of Madhu, in her own pond.

Verse 2

Turmoil arises as he tugs at the cloth over her breasts; a lotus stalk is taken up in place of a weapon.

Verse 3

Forceful in tight embraces and insistent kisses, yet harsh in the act of splashing each other with cold water.

Verse 4

His eternal vigor grows slack under the weight of pleasure, while her boldness, the mark of the beloved's defeat, only grows.
