ūdho!, hamare āṁkhi na kāna

English meaning

Sending a message to Shyāmasundara through Uddhava, the maidens of Braja state, “Oh Uddhava! Tell that Captivator of the heart, who is the wealth of Kubjā’s life, that we are devoid of both eyes as well as ears. He, who possesses eyes, alone can watch his steps in the world. So far as our eyes are concerned, they can see only Shyāmasundara; nothing else can ever come in the path of their sight. In the world, only one who possesses ears can hear and understand something about knowledge etc.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the sakhīs add, “Our ears can hear only the melodious music of Shyāmasundara’s flute. They are absolutely incapable of hearing anything else.”
