Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 13


Sanskrit:

सकृदधरसुधां स्वां मोहिनीं पाययित्वासुमनस इव सद्यस्तत्यजेऽस्मान् भवाद‍ृक् ।परिचरति कथं तत्पादपद्मं नु पद्माह्यपि बत हृतचेता ह्युत्तम:श्लोकजल्पै: ॥ १३ ॥

ITRANS:

sakṛd adhara-sudhāṁ svāṁ mohinīṁ pāyayitvāsumanasa iva sadyas tatyaje ’smān bhavādṛkparicarati kathaṁ tat-pāda-padmaṁ nu padmāhy api bata hṛta-cetā hy uttamaḥ-śloka-jalpaiḥ

Translation:

After making us drink the enchanting nectar of His lips only once, Kṛṣṇa suddenly abandoned us, just as you might quickly abandon some flowers. How is it, then, that Goddess Padmā willingly serves His lotus feet? Alas! The answer must certainly be that her mind has been stolen away by His deceitful words.

Purport:

In this verse Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī continues to compare Śrī Kṛṣṇa to the bumblebee, and in Her distress She states that the reason the goddess of fortune is constantly devoted to His lotus feet must be that she has been fooled by Kṛṣṇa’s promises. According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, this statement of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s illustrates parijalpa, as described in Śrī Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi (14.184): “Parijalpa is that speech which, through various devices, shows one’s own cleverness by exposing the mercilessness, duplicity, unreliability and so on of one’s Lord.”
