Srimati Radharani’s Lament

Verse 341

Let Krishna embrace
this maidservant, who has fallen
at His lotus feet. Let Him
trample Me or break My heart
by never being visible to Me.
He is a debauchee, after all, and
can do whatever He likes, but
He is still no one other than the
worshipable Lord of My heart.

– Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
