“ ‘Springtime had arrived, and the full moon of that season inspired the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is complete in everything, with new attraction to meet the beautiful ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī at night to increase the beauty of Their pastimes.’ â€

ÅšrÄ«la Bhaktivinoda ṬhÄkura interprets this verse (Vidagdha-mÄdhava 1.10) in two ways, for Lord Kṛṣṇa and for ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī. When interpreted for Kṛṣṇa, the night is understood to have been a dark-moon night, and when interpreted for ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī, it is considered to have been a full-moon night.
