Acarya's Writing

Padyavali, Anthology of Devotional Poetry
Srila Rupa Gosvami

Dvaravati-sthasya harer virahah
Lord Krishna’s Feelings of Separation in Dvaraka

Verse 373

Remembering the gently flowing
Yamuna River, the area around
Govardhana Hill, dark with blue
lotuses, and the valleys fragrant
with many kadamba flowers, and
also remembering sweetly beautiful
Radha during Their first meeting,
He became filled with pain. May
Lord Damodara, the king of Dvaraka,
delight the three worlds.

– Sri Sharana
