ūdho!, hama bhorī brajanāra

English meaning

Maidens of Braja say to Uddhava, “Oh Uddhava! We, the maidens of Braja, are very innocent. Your friend, Shyāmasundara is a swindler who has swindled us out of our body, heart, soul and everything, and took them with Him. We are anyhow maintaining this lifeless body in the hope that the lord of our life, Shyāmasundara will surely come one day. But Uddhava! Listen carefully. Just as even after making innumerable efforts, speech and its meaning cannot be separated, in the same way, Shyāmasundara, who pervades our entire being, is also absolutely inseparable from us. Therefore, do not consider us to be separated from Shyāmasundara.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh Uddhava! You cannot understand these strange matters of love. Shyāmasundara alone apprehends them.”
