Bhrämaà bhramäd api nehate – Here the word bhräma means anger. “My heart refuses to be angry with him, even unintentionally. I have no desire to see faults in him, such as his attachment for other heroines or his indifference to me. I remain completely satisfied with him. What am I to do?”

In this verse Shri Rädhä is portrayed as the utkaëöhitä näyikä who is characterized thus:

 
utkä bhavati sä yasyä
väsake nägataù priyaù
tasyänägamane hetuà
cintayantyäkulä yathä'

A heroine who anxiously frets over the reason why her beloved has not come to her bedside is called utkaëöhitä.

This verse includes hariëé chanda, kriyaucitya, yamaka çabda alaìkära and two artha alaìkäras, namely saàçaya and dépaka. The present verse is the puñpikä of the sixth song.
