Commentary

Rädhä is disappointed. She says, “Kṛṣṇa! You are even blacker on the inside than you are on the outside. How could a naturally noble and clean heart become so indifferent to me? Your black heart is so wicked, even to those who are inclined to you and those who have taken shelter of you. Only such a polluted heart could be so deceptive as to neglect me to enjoy with another’s lover. I am already traumatized by the arrows of käma. At least you should not betray me in this condition. Go, cheater! Get out of here. A pure-hearted person could never do such a thing.”

Kṛṣṇa said, “Rädhä! Do not doubt me unnecessarily. I would never cheat you.”
