Scene 5: Krishna
Strike the bent pose of sweet Krishna When He dances with the cowherd girls, Come stand in the shrine of the heart’s temple, Come show yourself as the charming, crooked one,
With Radha at your side,
Take off your skirt of human arms and Put on the yellow dhoti of the cowherd god, Put the peacock feather on your head and Crook one foot over the other, Abandon your garland of human heads and Put on the garland of forest flowers instead,
Be the Dark Charmer for once, and Not the Black Destroyer, O woman with heart of stone, The lotus of my heart blossoms When it sees the black moon! Just once’ drop the sword and
Pick up the bamboo flute! Fullfil the yearning of the faithful!
