Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 021
Sanskrit:
प्रियरावपदानि भाषसे मृत-सञ्जीविकयानया गिरा ।करवाणि किमद्य ते प्रियंवद मे वल्गितकण्ठ कोकिल ॥ २१ ॥
ITRANS:
priya-rāva-padāni bhāṣasemṛta-sañjīvikayānayā girākaravāṇi kim adya te priyaṁvada me valgita-kaṇṭha kokila
Translation:
O sweet-throated cuckoo, in a voice that could revive the dead you are vibrating the same sounds we once heard from our beloved, the most pleasing of speakers. Please tell me what I can do today to please you.
Purport:
As Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī explains, though the song of a cuckoo is very pleasant, Lord Kṛṣṇa’s wives perceive it as painful because it reminds them of their beloved Kṛṣṇa and exacerbates their pain of separation.
