Text 108] The Lord’s Inconceivable Behavior 237

kvacid api sa katha nah kinkarindm grnite
bhujam aguru-sugandham murdhny adhasyat kada nu

“Krsna is now living like a gentleman at the Gurukula in Mathura, forgetting all the
gopis of Vrndavana. But does He not remember the sweet house of His father,
Nanda Maharaja? We are all naturally His maidservants. Does He not remember
us? Does He ever speak about us, or has He forgotten us completely? Will He ever
forgive us and once again touch us with those hands fragrant with the scent of
agurue”

not understood even by the most learned scholars.

PURPORT

These songs of Srimad-Bhagavatam are verses 15-24 of the Ninetieth Chapter
of the Tenth Canto.

kurari vilapasi tvam vita-nidra na sese
svapiti jagati ratryam isvaro gupta-bodhah
vayam iva sakhi kaccid gadha-nirbhinna-ceta
nalina-nayana-hasodara-lileksitena

All the queens incessantly thought of Krsna. After their pastimes in the water, the
queens said, ‘Our dear friend the osprey, Krsna is now asleep, but we stay awake
at night because of Him. You laugh at us when you see us awake at night, but why
are you not sleeping? You seem absorbed in thoughts of Krsna. Have you also
been pierced by Krsna’s smile? His smile is very sweet. One who is pierced by
such an arrow is very fortunate.”
