Krishna said, ‘O fair beauty, who are you?
Where do you live? Whose daughter are you?
I never yet saw you in the lanes of Braj.’
Radha said, ‘What need have I to come this way?
I keep playing by my door.
But I hear that some son of Nanda
is in the habit of stealing butter and curds.’
Krishna said, ‘Look, why should I appropriate
anything that’s yours? Come, let’s play together.’
Suradasa says: By his honied words,
Krishna, the crafty prince of amorists,
beguiled Radha and put her at ease.
