When Yashoda heard about the departure of Krishna to Mathura, she began to lament, losing consciousness.793.
SWAYYA
While weeping, Yashoda said like this, “Is there anyone in Braja, who may stop the departing Krishna in Braja?
“Is there any courageous person, who may present my anguish before the king,” saying this, Yashoda, withered by sorrow, fell down on the ground and became silent.794.
“I kept Krishna in my womb for twelve months
O Balram! listen, I have sustained and nourished Krishna to this age
“Has Kansa called him for this reason, considering him as the son of Vasudeva? Has my fortune, in reality, dwindled away, that Krishna will now onward not live in my house?”795.
DOHRA
Leaving his home, Krishna mounted the chariot: now O friends! listen to the story of the gopis.796.
SWAYYA
When the gopis heard about the departure of Krishna, their eyes were filled with tears, many doubts arose in their mind and the happiness of their mind ended
Whatever passionate love and youth they had, the same was burnt to ashes in the fire of sorrow
Their mind has withered so much in the love of Krishna that now it has become difficult for them to speak.797.
With whom, and whose arena, they used to sing together, for whom, they endured the ridicule of the people, but still they undoubtedly roamed with him
He, who knocked down many mighty demons for our welfare, O friend! the same Krishna, forsaking the land of Braja, is going towards Mathura.798.
