Commentary
Shri Kṛṣṇa expresses his deep disappointment by the exclamation hari! hari! “Alas! What a terrible calamity. On seeing me surrounded by a throng of elegant gopés, Rädhä deserted me. She feels neglected and disrespected. Although she always reigns in my heart as my most beloved, and although she abounds with all desirable virtues, and although her love for me has never been surpassed, still I offended her. Therefore I was nervous and hesitated to pacify her. Feeling insulted, she became annoyed with me and left, and now I am very sorry about what happened.” |
