Standing near Krishna, Mainprabha said, “I shall go myself to her and with whatever means she comes, I shall persuade and bring her
“I shall get the assent of that winsome gopi, either by falling at her feet, or by request or getting her pleased
I shall bring her to you even today, otherwise I shall not be called yours.”695.
Getting up from near Krishna, Mainprabha started
Mandodari does not equal her in beauty and none the damsels of the court of Indra, has any charm before her
The glory of this woman’s charming face appears like this that the moon, deer, lion and parrot have borrowed their wealth of beauty from her.696.
Speech in answer:
SWAYYA
That moon-faced gopi, leaving Krishna, reached near Radha
She said on coming, “Go quickly, the son Nand has called you.
“Why did you say that you would not go to Krishna? Leave this duality. Why are you sitting at this place on stealing the heart of charming Krishna?”697.
“When the thundering clouds spread, the peacocks shout on all the four sides, the gopis dance and the love-sick people offer themselves as sacrifice,
“At that time, O friend! listen, Krishna, playing on his flute remembers you
O friend! go quickly so that on reaching there we may be able to see the wonderful sport.”698.
“Therefore, O friend! forsaking you pride, abandon your doubts and go to Krishna
Fill your mind with passion and do not involve yourself in persistence.”
The poet Shyam says that with out seeing the amorous sport of Krishna, why do you persist in sitting here?
My mind is eager to see his amorous sport.699.
Radha said, “O friend! I shall not go to Krishna and I have no desire to see his amorous sport
Krishna has forsaken his love with me and is absorbed in the love of other women
“He is absorbed in love with Chandarbhaga and does not even see me with his eyes
Therefore inspite of the upthrust of your mind, I shall not go to Krishna.”700.
Speech of the messenger:
SWAYYA
“Why should I go to see the women? Krishna has sent me to bring you
Therefore, I, keeping away from all the gopis, have come to you
“You are sitting here in vanity and do not listen to the advice of anyone
Go quickly, because Krishna will be waiting for you.”701.
Speech of Radhika:
SWAYYA
“O friend! I shall not go to Krishna why are you talking in vain?
Krishna has not sent you to me, because I feel an element of deceit in your talk
“O gopi, you have become a cheat and do not feel another’s pain,” saying this, Radha sat down with bowed head
The poet say, “I have not seen such an ego at any other place.”702.
Speech of the messenger:
SWAYYA
Then she said thus, “O friend! you go with me, I have come with a promise to Krishna
While coming, I have said this to Krishna, ‘O, the Lord of Braja! do not feel perturbed, I shall go now and persuade and bring Radha with me,’
“But here you are sitting in your pride, O friend! you go to Krishna, leaving the duality,
I shall not be able to go without you, reflect somewhat on another’s words.”703.
Speech of Radhika:
SWAYYA
“O gopi! why have you come without thinking? You should have come after consulting some magician
You go and tell Krishna that Radha is not feeling shy of him
