After discussing knowledge with Nanda and those gopis, I returned again.
“I have come back after conversing on topics concerning on divine wisdom with the gopis and Nand and seeing your sun-like face my agony has ended.957.
“Touching your feet, when I started, I reached at first at the house of Nand
After talking to him on matters of divine wisdom, I came to the gopis
“They related to me their suffering because of their separation from you, I advised them to repeat ever the Name of Krishna
After hearing your name, their love increasd greatly.”958.
Speech regarding the message of Udhava:
SWAYYA
“The gopis asked me to touch your feet on their behalf
They also said : ‘ O Krishna! now leave the residents of the city and give comfort to the inhabitants of Braja,’
Jasodha thus requested that this request be conveyed to my son Krishna.
“Yashoda also said, ‘Request my son on my behald to come again and eat the butter.’959.
“They have also requested you, OKrishna! listen to that also
Yashoda said that the Lord of Braja was very dear to them,
Do not have any doubts about this, we only want you to consider our love.
“And her love was incomparable, therefore her son should immediately leave Matura and come Braja.960.
“O Krishna! the queen of Braja, the mother Yashoda has made you this request
I have also her great love in my mind,
“Therefore Yashoda has asked you to leave Mathura and come to Braja
Yashoda has also said, ‘O Krishna! when you were a child, you acceded to everything, but now when you have grown bigger, you are not acceding to even one request.961.
“ ‘Leave Mathura and come to Braja
Accept my saying and do not stay ever for a little while in Mathura,’ “
“The gopis also said, Kindly give comfort to the residents of Braja
You have forgotton that time when you used to fall at our feet.962.
“ ‘O Krishna! Leave Mathura and come now to Braja
’ The gopis were saying under the impact of passionate love not to delay your coming further
“The gopis falling at my feet said, ‘O Udhava! go and ask Krishna to come
Tell him also to come here, he himself should feel comfortable and give comfort to us.963.
“ ‘O Krishna! Leave Mathura and now give happiness to the residents of Braja
Come again to Braja and by doing this one task for us, you will not lose anything
“ ‘O merciful! come and show your brilliance, we remain alive only on seeing you
O Krishna! come again and enjoy the relish of our amorous play in the alvoces.964.
“ ‘O Krishna! Only they are remembering you, for whom you had great love in Braja
Now Krishna is living with the residents of the city and he has now not even remembered the women of Braja
“ ‘Our eyes are feeling tired on looking for the arrival of Krishna
O Udhava! tell Krishna that without you all the gopis have become helpless.965.
O Lord Krishna! Moreover Radha, who is very dear to you, (He) has said thus to you.
“ ‘O Krishna! Your dear Radha has said that she has not been able to control herself since the day when you left Braja
“ ‘You may come, leaving Mathura immediately, we are helpless without you
I had been very egoistic with you, come to me, I accept defeat.966.
Why have you abandoned us, (we) have not spoiled anything of yours.
“ ‘We had not harmed you in any way, why have you forsaken us? O Lord! falling at my feet Radha said this:
“ ‘O Krishna! you have absorbed yourself with the residents of the city, forgetting the women of Braja
O Krishna! we had shown persistence towards you, but now we feel defeated.’967.
“They have further said this thing to you, ‘O Krishna! listen to it with all your heart
We used to play with you some time, O Krishna! do remember that occasion some time
“ ‘We used to sing with you in a lengthened tune
We have asked you to remember all this, O Krishna! communicate again with the residents of Braja.968.
