Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Antya-līlā, Ch. 19]
netre nimīlayasi naktam adṛṣṭa-bandhus tvam roravīṣi karuṇam bata cakravāki dāsyam gatā vayam ivācyuta-pāda-juṣṭām kim vā srajam spṛhayase kabareṇa voḍhum
“O cakravāki, you keep your eyes wide open at night because you cannot see your friend. Indeed, you are suffering very much. Is it because of compassion that you are crying, or are you trying to capture Kṛṣṇa by remembering Him? Having been touched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, all the queens are very happy. Are you crying to wear Kṛṣṇa’s garland on your head? Please answer these questions clearly, O cakravāki, so that we can understand.”
bho bhoḥ sadā niṣṭanase udanvann alabdha-nidro ‘dhigata-prajāgaraḥ kim vā mukundāpahṛtātma-lāñchanaḥ prāptām daśām tvam ca gato duratyayām
“O ocean, you have no opportunity to sleep quietly at night. Instead, you are always awake and crying. You have received this benediction, and your heart is broken just like ours. Mukunda’s business with us is simply to smear our marks of  kuṅkuma . O ocean, you suffer as much as we.”
tvam yakṣmaṇā balavatāsi gṛhīta indo kṣīṇas tamo na nija-dīdhitibhiḥ kṣīṇoṣi kaccin mukunda-gaditāni yathā vayam tvam vismṛtya bhoḥ sthagita-gīr upalakṣyase naḥ
“O moon, you appear to be suffering from a severe fever, perhaps tuberculosis. Indeed, your effulgence does not have the strength to destroy the darkness. Have you become mad after hearing the songs of Kṛṣṇa? Is that why you are silent? Seeing your suffering, we feel that you are one of us.”
kim tvācaritam asmābhir malayānila te ‘priyam govindāpāṅga-nirbhinne hṛdīrayasi naḥ smaran
“O Malayan breeze, kindly tell us what wrong we have done to you. Why do you fan the flames of desire in our hearts? We have been pierced by the arrow of Govinda’s glance, for He is perfect in the art of awakening the influence of Cupid.”
