Vidyapati, the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century poet of Mithila, wrote these songs in his mother tongue on the courtship of Radha and Krishna, which Vaishnava devotion reads as the love of the soul and God. Ananda Coomaraswamy’s translation follows the cycle from first longing and first meeting through secret trysts, quarrels, spring festival and separation.
