sa -- she; evam -- thus; kaivalya -- of liberation; natham -- the controller; tam -- Him; prapya -- obtaining; dushprapyam -- unobtainable; isvaram -- the Supreme Lord; anga-raga -- body ointment; arpanena -- by offering; aho -- oh; durbhaga -- unfortunate; idam -- this; ayacata -- she begged.
Having thus gotten the hard-to-get Supreme Lord by the simple act of offering Him body ointment, unfortunate Trivakra submitted to that Lord of freedom the following request.
According to Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti, Srimati Trivakra prayed to the Lord, "Please enjoy only with me, and not with any other woman." Because Krishna was not prepared to grant such a benediction, Trivakra is described here as unfortunate. Sridhara Svami adds that although to ordinary eyes she seemed to beg for material sex pleasure, in fact she was a liberated soul at this point.
