The female guards eventually noticed unmistakable symptoms of romantic involvement in ŪṣÄ, who, having broken her maiden vow, was being enjoyed by the Yadu hero and showing signs of conjugal happiness. The guards went to BÄṇÄsura and told him, “O King, we have detected in your daughter the kind of improper behavior that spoils the reputation of a young girl’s family.
ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« has defined the word bhaá¹Äḥ as “female guards,†whereas JÄ«va GosvÄmÄ« defines it as “eunuchs and others.†Grammatically, the word can function both ways.
The guards feared that if BÄṇÄsura found out about ŪṣÄ’s activities from some other source, he would severely punish them, and thus they personally informed him that his young daughter was no longer innocent.
