Plate 1 - The Game of Hide and Seek  

Picture

 

The cowherd boys and girls are playing the game of hide-and-seek, on the outskirts of the village. Radha has hidden herself in a clump of bushes. Krishna discovers her, and makes use of the opportunity for love-making.

dou chora milichani
khelu na kheli aghata
durata hiyain laptai kai
chhuvata hiyain laptata

"Playing the game of hide-and-seek, the two are not satisfied with its pleasures. When one seeks the other, they cling to each other in a warm embrace."
