Commentary

The sakhé is assuring Rädhä, “If you have no faith in my words, then just listen to the sound of Kṛṣṇa’s flute coming from that very place. The flute is singing your name. It is the signal by which Kṛṣṇa is calling you to meet him and also showing you the way to get there. If you are doubtful and think, ‘I will definite ly be cheated when I arrive. He must have gone there to meet another lover,’ then your doubt is unfounded because he even considers the grains of sand raised by your feet to be valuable jewels. He receives them with great respect as they come to him on the breeze.”
