sakhī! toya, kāu kī dīṭhi lagī

English meaning

(The sweet meeting of a gopī with beloved Shyāmasundara and the disclosure of it by another gopī.) Oh sakhi! It seems to me as if you have been the prey of an evil eye. The implication is that your eyes have met with somebody’s eyes. Oh friend! Your eyes look red and full of intoxication, as if you were awake throughout the night. You have also renounced the decorum of the world, the Vedas and the lineage. And there is no bashfulness in your eyes now. Oh friend! Sometimes you look causelessly happy and sometimes aggrieved without any cause at all, as if some cheater has cheated you through his love. And sometimes, rising and sinking in the ocean of love, you all of a sudden start laughing all by yourself like a fully intoxicated person. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Seeing all these symptoms, I have now fully understood that you have been maddened with Shyāmasundara’s love.”
