Texto

After making us drink the enchanting nectar of His lips only once, Krishna suddenly abandoned us, just as you might quickly abandon some flowers. How is it, then, that Goddess Padma willingly serves His lotus feet? Alas! The answer must certainly be that her mind has been stolen away by His deceitful words.

Significado

In this verse Srimati Radharani continues to compare Sri Krishna 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 Krishna's promises. According to Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti, this statement of Srimati Radharani's illustrates parijalpa, as described in Sri Ujjvala-nilamani (14.184):

prabhor nidayata-sathya-

capalyady-upapadanat

sva-vicakshanata-vyaktir

bhangya syat 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."
