Padyavali, Anthology of Devotional Poetry
Srila Rupa Gosvami
Tam prati shri-radha-vakyam
Srimati Radharani’s Reply
Verses 235–236
When My lover, Krishna, stands
before Me and speaks sweet words,
do all My senses become ears, or
do they become eyes? I do not know.
When I gaze at Krishna, the creator
Brahma does not transform all My
senses into eyes. When I hear about
Krishna’s transcendental qualities,
Brahma does not transform all My
senses into ears. When I speak with Krishna,
Brahma does not transform all My limbs
into mouths. Brahma does not know anything
about drinking the nectar of Krishna.
