Prakata-lilanusarena bhavini harer mathura-prasthane radha-sakhi-vakyam
Words of Srimati Radharani’s Gopi Friend as in His
Manifest Pastimes Krishna is about to Leave for Mathura City
VERSE 317
O Kamadeva, you have given
this lowly girl’s body friendship
with the new moon. Tell me,
after Krishna leaves at sunrise,
where will you shoot your arrows?
—Sri Rudra
Note: Anxious because of Krishna’s imminent departure, Radha has become thin and pale as the new moon.
