siras-chayam krishnah svayam akrita radha-caranayor
bhuja-valli-cchayam iyam api tadiya-pratikritau
iti krida-kope nibhritam ubhayor apy anunaya-
prasadau jiyas tam api guru-samaksham sthitavatoh
sirah-of His head; chayam-the shadow; krishnah-Krishna; ¨svayam-personally; akrita-placed; radha-of Radha; caranayoh-at the feet; bhuja-of Her arms; valli-of the vine; chayam-the shadow; iyam-this; api-also; tadiya-to Him; pratikritau-in response; iti-thus; krida-playful; kope-in anger; nibhritam-secretly; ubhayoh-of Them both; api-also; anunaya-prasadau-pleased; jiyah-all glories; tam-this; api-even; guru-of Their elder; samaksham-before the eyes; sthitavatoh-standing.
In the presence of His elders Krishna moved His head so it's shadow appeared at Radha's feet. Radha responded by moving the vines of Her arms so their shadows embraced Krishna. In this way Radha and Krishna ended Their playful lover's quarrel and became again pleased with each other as Their unsuspecting elders looked on. All glories to Radha and Krishna's again becoming pleased.

sa sarvathaiva rakta
ragam gunjeva na tu mukhe vahati
vacana-patos tava ragah
kevalam asye sukasyeva
sa-She; sarvatha-in all respects; eva-certainly; rakta-is red with love; ragam-red; gunja-a gunja berry; iva-like; na-not; tu-indeed; mukhe-only on the mouth; vahati-carries; vacana-patoh-clever-talking; tava-of You; ragah-the redness of love; kevalam-is only; asye-on the mouth; sukasya-of a parrot; iva-like.
Radha is completely red with love for You. Her love is not like the redness of a gunja berry, which is red not only on the surface, but through and through. O clever-talking Krishna, the redness of Your love for Her is not in Your heart but only in Your mouth, just as a parrot's mouth is red, but the rest of him is some other color.
-Sri Govardhanacarya
