Text 19] The Ecstatic Manifestations of Lord Caitanya 177
are actually misused by love because love does not know where to strike
and where not to strike. Even Cupid does not know of our very weakened
condition. What should | tell anyone? No one can understand another’s
difficulties. Our life is actually not under our control, for youth will re-
main for two or three days and soon be finished. In this condition, O crea-
tor, what will be our destination?’
PURPORT
This verse is from the Jagannatha-vallabha-nataka (3.9) of Rimananda Raya.

TRANSLATION
[Srimati Radharani spoke thus, in distress due to separation from
Krsna.] “Oh, what shall | say of My distress? After | met Krsna My loving
propensities sprouted, but upon separating from Him, | sustained a great
shock, which is now continuing like the sufferings of a disease. The only
physician for this disease is Krsna Himself, but He is not taking care of this
sprouting plant of devotional service. What can | say about the behavior
of Krsna? Outwardly He is a very attractive young lover, but at heart He is
a great cheat, very expert in killing others’ wives.’
