218 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 14
Mrtyu is explained in the Harnsaduta:
aye rasa-kridé-rasika mama sakhyam nava-nava
pura baddha yena pranaya-lahari hanta gahana
sa cen muktapeksas tvam asi dhig imam tdlasakalam
yad etasya nasa-nihitam idam adydapi calati
In the following letter, Lalita chastised Krsna for staying in Mathura: “Simply by
dancing in the circle of the rasa dance, You attracted Srimati Radharani’s love.
Why are You now so indifferent to my dear friend Radharani? She is lying nearly
unconscious, thinking of Your pastimes. | shall determine whether She is alive by
putting a cotton swab under Her nostrils, and if She is still living, | shall chastise
Her,”
