Whenever ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī leaves Her house, She is always well dressed and attractive. It is Her womanly nature to attract ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa’s attention, and upon seeing Her so attractively dressed, ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa desires to touch Her body. The Lord then finds some fault in Her and prohibits Her from going to a river crossing and stops Her from picking flowers. Such are the pastimes between ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī and ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa. Being a cowherd girl, ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī regularly carries milk in a container and often goes to sell the milk on the other side of the YamunÄ. To cross the river, She has to pay the boatman, and the spot where the boatman collects his fares is called the dÄna-ghÄá¹­i. Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa stops Her from going, telling Her, “First You have to pay the fee; then You will be allowed to go.†This pastime is called dÄna-keli-lÄ«lÄ. Similarly, if ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī wants to pick a flower, ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa claims to be the garden’s proprietor and prohibits Her. This pastime is called kila-kiñcita. RÄdhÄrÄṇī’s shyness arises due to ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa’s prohibitions, and ecstatic loving bodily symptoms called kila-kiñcita-bhÄva are manifest at this time. These ecstatic symptoms are explained in the following verse, which is from ÅšrÄ«la RÅ«pa GosvÄmī’s Ujjvala-nÄ«lamaṇi (AnubhÄva-prakaraṇa 39).
