kuṁvari! tū kitai gaī ḍarapāya?

English meaning

Misinterpreting the symptoms of love in Kishorī Jī for signs of fear, a gopī asks her, “What are You scared of? All of a sudden, Your hair stand on their ends, the body thrills and emits very much sweat. Waking up in the middle of Your sleep all of a sudden, You sit startled and, then, start running from hither to thither. Sometimes You laugh uproariously and sometimes shed tears saying, ‘Hāi! Hāi!’. Sometimes You mutter something to Yourself and sometimes become absolutely silent. Sometimes the tears of happiness can be seen flowing from Your eyes and sometimes it seems as if You are angry. Sometimes, You do as if the taṇḍava dance and sometimes become extremely bashful. Sometimes You are conscious of the outer world, while at other times, You lose all consciousness and fall on the ground in a swoon.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “When the gopī was thus asking questions, Lalitā sakhī told her equivocally that Kishorī Jī was under the effect of some evil spirit.” The actual implication of Lalitā’s words is that to be mentally attached and devoted to somebody is very bad. Kishorī Jī’s heart is absolutely devoted to beloved Shyāmasundara. That’s all. She is neither under the effect of some evil spirit nor scared of anything.
