nā gaṇi āpana-duḥkha, dekhi' vrajeśvarī-mukha,
vraja-janera hṛdaya vidare
kibā māra' vraja-vāsī, kibā jīyāo vraje āsi',
kena jīyāo duḥkha sahāibāre?

 nā gaṇi - I do not care; āpana-duḥkha - My personal unhappiness; dekhi' - seeing; vrajeśvarī-mukha - the face of mother Yaśodā; vraja-janera - of all the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana; hṛdaya vidare - the hearts break; kibā - whether; māra' vraja-vāsī - You want to kill the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana; kibā - or; jīyāo - You want to keep their lives; vraje āsi' - coming in Vṛndāvana; kena - why; jīyāo - You let them live; duḥkha sahāibāre - just to cause to suffer unhappiness.

“I do not care for My personal unhappiness, but when I see the morose face of mother Yaśodā and the hearts of all the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana breaking because of You, I wonder whether You want to kill them all. Or do You want to enliven them by coming there? Why are You simply keeping them alive in a state of suffering?
