gaī ḍasi nāgini abahīṁ bhora

English meaning

A gopī tells her bosom friend, “Oh sakhi! A female-serpent stung me this morning. It was of black colour. Its fangs were extremely dangerous (The gopī is referring to Shyāmasundara’s piercing side-long looks of love.) It had two tongues and every limb of it was curved (triple-bent Shyāmasundara.) Oh sakhi! As soon as that female-serpent stung me, I fell on the ground saying, ‘Oh, good be unto Thee!’ Now, my life is in peril, do something quickly.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh sakhi! The snake-charmer known by the name of Nandakishora knows the charm of curing this type of snake-bite. In other words, He Himself is that female-serpent. Why are you hiding this from me?”
