After making us drink the enchanting nectar of His lips only once, Kṛṣṇa suddenly abandoned us, just as you might quickly abandon some flowers. How is it, then, that Goddess PadmÄ willingly serves His lotus feet? Alas! The answer must certainly be that her mind has been stolen away by His deceitful words.
In this verse ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī continues to compare ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa to the bumblebee, and in Her distress She states that the reason the goddess of fortune is constantly devoted to His lotus feet must be that she has been fooled by Kṛṣṇa’s promises. According to ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ«, this statement of ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī’s illustrates parijalpa, as described in ÅšrÄ« Ujjvala-nÄ«lamaṇi (14.184):
prabhor nidayatÄ-Å›Äá¹hya-
cÄpalyÄdy-upapÄdanÄt
sva-vicaká¹£aṇatÄ-vyaktir
bhaá¹…gyÄ syÄt parijalpitam
“Parijalpa is that speech which, through various devices, shows one’s own cleverness by exposing the mercilessness, duplicity, unreliability and so on of one’s Lord.â€
