专家说明

The Gita Govinda describes the divine love affair between Krishna and Radha in beautiful lyric poetry. In the present scene Krishna bemoans his estragement from his beloved by extolling the virtues of Ardhanarishvara, the form of Shiva that unites Shiva with Parvati in a single, vertically bifurcated, body. Here Krishna visualizes himself sharing a thali with Radha before uniting with her eternally.
