What kind of poem is this? In response the poet says, “This poem is predominated by shrugara-rasa and it is exceptionally sweet. The poet has renounced all sense of responsibility for the authorship of this narration because his speech and mind are absorbed in Sri Krishna. The marvelous mansion of his heart is decorated with paintings of Sri Radha-Madhava’s intimate encounters, and its fabulous treasury is his fascinating poetry. Similarly, this picture of loving pastimes has been painted by the brush of Sri Jayadeva.
After transferring that vision to his canvas, it becomes a painting. The divine pastimes (leelas) of Sri Radha-Krishna reside together like a collection of paintings in the mansion of Sri Jayadeva’s heart.
