Translation

“Sakhi, now there is no way that my mind can be satisfied in separation from Kṛṣṇa. Look! The radiant beauty of this slightly blossomed new açoka vine is like a spear piercing my eyes. The breeze wafting from the groves on the shore of this lake also inflicts pain upon every limb of my body. Even the beautiful drone of the bumblebees as they wander in all directions is not pleasing to me. The mango trees are all the more captivating with their humming bumblebees, yet the fresh blossoms sprouting from their branch-tips also do not make me happy.”
