Gandharvam prati sakhi-vakyam
A Gopi-friend’s Words to Srimati Radharani
Verse 305
We are conquered by
Your friendship. For this reason
we will tell You something. O
beautiful one, if You go again
to the Yamuna, don’t go to
the kadamba forest. In that place
is a great splendid darkness. When
that darkness even lightly touches
the corner of a young girl’s
lotus eyes, she is never again
able to see her husband’s house.
– Sri Govinda Bhatta
