Srila Rupa Gosvami

Vraja-devinam sandeshah
A Letter from the Goddesses of Vraja

Verse 380

The girls of Vraja wrote
Lord Krishna a letter that said:
“(O Krishna) why is it that
the constantly shining charming
moonlight and the constant
breezes on the shore of the
Yamuna are not able to cool
the burning sufferings we feel?”
When He heard these words
within His palace, Krishna began
to sigh. Those sighs broke into pieces
the pride of His beautiful queens.

– Sri Pancatantrakrit
