The maidservant replied: O handsome one, I am a servant of King Kaá¹sa, who highly regards me for the ointments I make. My name is TrivakrÄ. Who else but You two deserve my ointments, which the lord of the Bhojas likes so much?
ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« explains that TrivakrÄ, who is also known as KubjÄ, used the singular address sundara, “O handsome one,†to hint that she felt conjugal desire for Kṛṣṇa alone, and she used the dual form yuvÄm, “for both of You,†to try to hide her conjugal sentiment. The hunchback’s name, TrivakrÄ, indicates that her body was bent at the neck, chest and waist.
