Gouache on paper-17th centuty

Like one possessed, she is not to be held back.
Even her friend cannot disuade her
from stepping out into a storm at night
to meet her beloved, as Radha instructs...

"Sakhi!
For maidens who are ready to set out with eagerness
to meet their sweetheart,

even the clouds are like the sun,
the night as the day, darkness as light,
the forest as their own home,
and pathless wilderness as smooth paths."
