benediction. He thought the will of writing about R膩dh膩 and K峁涐梗峁嘺 is an over hastiness. In his language- Having a very little intelligence like me how I can express the extraordinary play of the celebrated majesty, whose lusture of the figure is like the rays of a blue saphire, who roams in the sweet spring reason, the lord of all beings, the son of Nanda with R膩dh膩 who has taken incarnation due to the virtues of god Sun through the continued austerities.43 But Jayadeva declared his position among the poets from the very beginning of his work 44. He also states the purpose of reading his poem. In Miller, B.S.'s words-: "If remembering Hari enriches your heart, if his arts of seduction arouses you, listen to Jayadeva's speech in these sweet soft lyrical songs "45. Jayadeva and his parental identification is available from his work. But the name of Kavis奴rya is not found in the camp奴 both in Sanskrit and O岣峣膩 portions. In comparison Jayadeva is more self- expressive than Kavis奴rya. Jayadeva has over confidence on his poetic talent, but Kavis奴rya did not think about his eligibility to compose a poem on the auspicious theme R膩dh膩k峁涐梗峁嘺, the divine partners. It may be due to his poetic humbleness. The last canto of Gg explains that the union of song of R膩dh膩k峁涐梗峁嘺 may delight the heart of the connoissures 46. But in KCC Kavis奴rya explains that the combined glow of R膩dh膩-K峁涐梗峁嘺 may protect the mortal people who are captured in this illusive world47. 43. 啶呧げ啷嵿お啶о啶� 啶溹げ啷嵿お啶距ぎ啶� 啶囙い啶� 啶曕さ啶苦ざ啷嵿啶苦え啷嵿い啶ぞ啶ぞ啶� 啷� [alpadh墨岣� jalp膩mi iti kavi艣cintay膩m膩sa | ] KCC, Prose line of Verse 2 44. 啶掂ぞ啶椸啶︵啶掂い啶距啶班た啶む啶苦い啷嵿ぐ啶苦い啶氞た啶む啶むじ啶ぞ..
