Srila Rupa Gosvami

Tatra pura-strinam vakyam
Words of the Women of Mathura When
Lord Krishna Entered the City

Verse 322

O dear friend, the lotus flowers
in the lake remain with
petals unopened, and the
flowers in the forest refuse
to blossom. From this I can
understand that the handsome
son of Maharaja Nanda has
not yet returned to Vraja Village.

– Sri Kumara
