Cc Ādi 4.251

পরস্পর বেণুগীতে হরযে চেতন মোর ভ্রমে তমালেরে করে আলিংগন

परस्पर वेणुगीते हरये चेतन मोर भ्रमे तमालेरे करे आलिंगन

paraspara veṇu-gīte haraye cetana mora bhrame tamālere kare āliṅgana

Synonyms

paraspara—against each other; veṇu-gīte—the singing of the bamboo; haraye—attracts; cetana—consciousness; mora—of Me; bhrame—in mistake; tamālere—a black tree known as tamāla; kare—She does; āliṅgana—embracing..

Translation

"The flutelike murmur of the bamboos rubbing against one another steals Rādhārāṇī's consciousness, for She thinks it to be the sound of My flute. And She embraces a tamāla tree, mistaking it for Me.
