Longing Lotus Eyes

Scene Eleven : Song 11 : Verse 17

tvad-vämyena samaà samagram adhunä tigmäàçur astaà gato govindasya manorathena ca samaà präptaà tamaù sändratäm kokänäà karuëa-svanena sadåçé dérghä mad-abhyarthanä tan-mugdhe viphalaà vilambanam asau ramyo ’bhisära-kñaëaù Translation “Along with your contrary mood, the sun has also set. Along with Kṛṣṇa’s desire, the darkness has also intensified. Like the continuous crying of the lonely cakraväka bird, who laments in pathetic tones during the night, my request has also become futile. O bewildered one, I have been pleading with you for a very long time. Now it is useless to delay any longer. The delightful time for abhisära has arrived.”
