“O My Lord, O My husband, O most dearly beloved! O mighty-armed Lord! Where are You? Where are You? O My friend, reveal Yourself to Your maidservant, who is very much aggrieved by Your absence.â€
This verse is quoted from ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (10.30.39). When the rÄsa dance was going on in full swing, Kṛṣṇa left all the gopÄ«s and took only ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī with Him. At that time all the gopÄ«s lamented, and ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī, being proud of Her position, requested Kṛṣṇa to carry Her wherever He liked. Then Kṛṣṇa immediately disappeared from the scene, and ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī began to lament.
