api svit—whether it will: akrta-swkrtam—who has never executed
any pious activities: dgatya—coming back; ma@m—to me;
sukhayisyati—give pleasure; harina-raja-kumarah—the deer, who was
just like a prince because of my taking care of it exactly like a son;
vividha—various; rucira—very pleasing: darsaniya—to be seen; nija—
own: mrga-ddéraka—befitting the calf of the deer: vinodaih—by
pleasing activities; asantosam—the unhappiness; svéndm—of his own
kind: apanudan—driving away.

TRANSLATION

That deer is exactly like a prince. When will it return? When
will it again display its personal activities, which are so pleasing?
When will it again pacify a wounded heart like mine? I certainly
must have no pious assets, otherwise the deer would have returned
by now.

PURPORT

Out of strong affection, the King accepted the small deer as if it were a
prince. This is called moha. Bue to his anxiety over the deer’s absence,
the King addressed the animal as though it were his son. Out of affection,
anyone can be addressed as anything.
