ramayati subhåçaà käm api sudåçaà khala-haladhara-sodare kim aphalam avasaà ciram iha virasaà vada sakhi viöapodare ramate yamunä-pulina vane Translation “The brother of Haladhara – that indiscriminate, ill-mannered uncouth rogue, Kṛṣṇa – is definitely tightly embracing some woman with beautiful eyes and making love to her. So sakhi, tell me – how long shall I sit waiting in this bower of flowering vines in an unpleasant mood, completely devoid of rasa?”
