The Dextrous Divinity

Scene Thirteen : Song 13 : Verse 11

tat kià käm api käminém abhisåtaù kià vä kalä-kelibhir baddho bandhubhir andhakäriëi vanäbhyarëe kim udbhrämyati käntaù klänta-manä manäg api pathi prasthätum eväkñamaù saìketé-kåta-maïju-vaïjula-latä-kuïje ’pi yan nägataù Translation “Shri Kṛṣṇa is more dear to me than my own life. Why has he not come to the appointed chamber of blossoming vines? What is the mystery behind it? Did he go for a tryst with another passionate woman? Did he inadvertently allow the appointed time to pass in the joy of playing with his friends? Is he wandering around, unable to find this place in the terrible darkness cast by the shadow of this dense mass of trees? Is he so debilitated by feelings of separation from me that he cannot walk a single step?”
