Subtext: While voluptuous women tread towards their lovers in night, their ornaments give out glints at the smallest possible light, thus making their golden yellow complexion more striking on the black background of night, like a streak of pure gold on a touchstone among other streaks, thus if Raadha, in all her love for Krishna, ventures to tread the darkness, called ignorance, she shines forth like a loveable streak of pure gold.

12-9. atha= then; saa+raadhaa= she, that Raadha; surata+ante= act, at end of; nitaanta +khinna+a.ngii= absolutely, tired, with limbs; sahasaa= quickly [for, she cannot be in that shabby condition, and she is now helpless to decorate herself with a presentable getup]; supriitam+govi.ndam= to gladdened, Govinda; aana.ndena= with [her own] gladness; idam= this sentence; saadaram+jagaada= with tenderness, said.
Then, she that Raadha, whose limbs are absolutely tired after the act, quickly said this to the gladdener of all beings, namely Govinda, intermingling her own gladness.

a pa 24-1. saa= she that Raadha; hR^idaya+ana.ndane= to hearts, delighter [Krishna]; yadu + na.ndane= Yadu clan's, delight [Krishna]; kriiDati= when he is disporting, enjoyiong [archaic. relaxation]; ni+jagaada= insistently, spoke; hè yadu na.ndana= o, Yadu's son [Krishna ]; cha.ndana= sandal-paste shishira+tareNa= dew, [cooler] than; kareNa= with palms; mano bhava= mind born one, Love-god's [place of]; ma~Ngala+kalasha+sahodare= auspicious, vessel's, co-birthed [where these vessels are two, one - full with nectar brought by Dhanvantari during the churning of Milk Ocean, and some drops of which fell on earth when Garuda was bringing it, thereby those drops sprinkled on herbs and plants, making them useful for medicinal use; the other - Goddess Lakshmi herself as she emerged out of the same ocean. As a symbolic representation for Lakshmi Devi, a vessel decorated with sandal paste, anong with water, milk, leafs, sacred rice etc, will be arranged in the first instance of any worship. Here, Raadha is identifying herself as a co-born one to Lakshmi from Milky Ocean, or with the vessel of nectar brought by Dhanvantari]; atra+payodhare = there, on those [nectarous] bosoms; mR^iga+mada= musk-deer's, fat- musk; patrakam= foliage; kuru= make, paint.
When Krishna is enjoying himself she that Raadha insistently spoke this to the delighter of hearts and the clan of Yadu, "paint musky foliages on my bosoms, the abode of Love-god, and the co-born ones to auspicious vessel, O the delight of Yadu's clan, paint on them with your own palms that are cooler than the sandal-paste... [a pa 24-1]
Comment: In all these bits of songs Krishna is addressed as a makeup artist, or a hairdresser, or as a painter etc. It does not matter. Heroes are supposed to know how women decorated, paint faces, dress etc., because they are supposed to be experts in all sixty-four arts catuH shaSTi kalaa prapuurNa. In Ramayana when Kaika gives a dress usable for forest dwelling to Seetha, Seetha is at loss to understand as to how to wear it. Then Rama winds that sari around her detailing how to secure it, before all women in palace-chambers, who are jerking tears for the misfortune bechganced on the topmost princes like Seetha.
And in audios or dances on this song, we will be usually listening nijagaa dha saa instead of nijagaada saa i.e., adding a stress to dha that stress is a singer's or dancer's delight, to make a heel tap in dance movement with that stress.

"My forehead is moonlike and on it sweat-drops are lulled by now, and by rubbing cinnabar paste in liquefied musk, O, lotus-faced one, beautifully repaint my forehead mark, like that of the blotch on the face of moon... [24-5]
Comment: The comparison is in between the face of Krishna and Raadha. A lotus is an opposer of moon, but moon blemishes that lotus as and when they face each other. Here too, she is saying 'though my moonlike face is an opponent to lotuses, retain my blotch on my forehead, and be smiley like a lotus...'

"My hips are big and burly and will be like the picturesque and elephantine mountain-slopes, oh, one with gracing hand, decorate them with dresses and bejewelled ornaments, and waist-strings... [24-7]
Comment: Again the word LOINS is used here by some in translating jaghana, while jaghana is lexically buttock. If some modesty is required to say 'buttocks', as many abhor terms like 'buttocks, behinds, and bottoms...' in their sycophant westernisation, this may be said as it nearest part 'hips'. We are asked to do so in Kalidas' Ritu samhaaram, and we obliged it, to not to become too pedantic. But bringing hind parts to front to say her 'loins are like elephantine caves...' how far it is ethical? Any reader may examine in any word to see whether Raadha opened up her loins, or at least said about them. This work Gita Govinda already carries a mark of kshudra kaavya , why the other Indian pundits add some more to it? Perhaps, this may be owing to the reason of ruination of romantic arts, or due to the burial of Bharata Muni or Vaastaayana, or romance in living itself.
Here the stress used by the poet is for reminding nature's curvaceous beauty, but not the contours of a personified goddess or deity. It is necessary to identify Raadha with whole Nature, and Krishna with the delighter of that Nature, as none else can satisfy her.

Oh, sagacious people, that which expertise of poet and pundit Jayadeva in the way of thinking of Vaishnavaites, expertise in musical arts, discrimination between just romanticization of humanly characters, and telling apart that romance is also a godsend gift to humans, where Vishnu is the first one to relish the taste of romance, and where this Universe is his romantic feigning, and Jayadeva's telling it in its actuality are incorporated and rendered by Jayadeva, let all such things be evaluated in this treatise Shri Gita Govindam.

O, white flower of soft wine, your thinking that you alone are the toxicant is unbefitting as Jayadeva's poetry is here... o, sugar, you are embittered... o, grape, who will see you from now on... o, undying, un-deadening nectar, dead you are... o, milk, watered is your taste... o, sweet mango fruit, bewail from now on... you, the lip of damsel, under-balanced is your sweetness , hence get away from my path to Hari... thus, like the auspiciousness, Jayadeva's crafty sayings will also accord all the essences of romantics.

This way while Krishna is pleasure tripping on the riverbanks of Yamuna in many a disport with Raadha, and while he is adjusting her hairlocks and pearly pendants, he got an illusion that those pendants are like the river streams of Ganga or Yamuna, and on seeing a pair of large fruits floating in those streams, he thought them to be Raadha's bosoms and tried to rescue them. While Krishna hands are engaged in such an activity with gladness, let those hands gladly accord all riches to one and all. [12-15]
