smaräturäà daivata-vaidya-hådya tvad-aìga-saìgämåta-mätra-sädhyäm vimukta-bädhäà kuruñe na rädhäm upendra vajräd api däruëo ’si Translation “O Upendra! You are more expert in medical affairs than the celestial physicians. Rädhä is suffering from the heat of Cupid. She can only stay alive if she takes the medicine of bodily union with you. Her disease, the affliction of unfulfilled käma, is very difficult to cope with. Rädhä is about to die. If you do not relieve her, then we will know that you are harder than a thunderbolt.”
