Commentary
Shri Kṛṣṇa is describing his own condition of separation. “Whatever I am feeling in separation from Rädhä, she must also be feeling. How much anxiety and distress she must be going through. And my offence is the cause of this pain. She is suffering so much because of me. I do not know how she will express her anger, jealousy and other feelings when I meet her again. What will she tell her intimate friends? She must be making allegations against me, saying, ‘He is so cruel and heartless’. On the other hand, I will say, ‘O Rädhä, without you – my prosperity, my associates, my herds of cows and my good home – everything seems insignificant to me.’” |
