śrī-rukmiṇy uvāca
bho mātar nava-nītāti-
mṛdu-svāntasya tasya hi
avijñāyāntaraṁ kiñcit
katham evaṁ tvayocyate
yūyaṁ śṛṇuta vṛttāni
tarhi tarhi śrutāni me
TRANSLATION
Śrī Rukmiṇī said: My dear mother, you don’t understand the inner feelings of Kṛṣṇa at all. His heart is softer than newly churned butter. Why are you saying these things? Just hear from me what I have heard.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Texts 36-38

mama pratyakṣam evedaṁ
yadā kṛṣṇo vraje ’vrajat
tato hi pūtanādibhyaḥ
keśy-antebhyo muhur muhuḥ
daityebhyo varuṇendrādi-
devebhyo ’jagarāditaḥ
tathā cirantana-svīya-
śakaṭārjuna-bhaṅgataḥ
ko vā nopadravas tatra
jāto vraja-vināśakaḥ
tatratyās tu janāḥ kiñcit
te ’nusandadhate na tat
TRANSLATION
My own experience is this: When Kṛṣṇa lived in Vraja, so many calamities threatened to destroy it. Vraja was disturbed by demons, from Pūtanā to Keśī, by demigods like Varuṇa and Indra, by creatures like the python, and by the falling of familiar things at Kṛṣṇa’s house like the cart and the arjuna trees. But to these dangers the residents paid no regard.

athāgataṁ guru-gṛhāt
tvat-prabhuṁ prati kiñcana
saṅkṣepeṇaiva tad-vṛttaṁ
duḥkhād akathayaṁ ku-dhīḥ
TRANSLATION
But I am not very intelligent. After your Lord returned from the house of His spiritual master, my sadness drove me to tell Him briefly how the Vraja-vāsīs were faring.

ahaṁ śrī-vasudevena
samānītā tato yadā
yaśodāyā mahārtāyās
tadānīntana-rodanaiḥ
grāvo ’pi rodity aśaner
apy antar dalati dhruvam
jīvan-mṛtānām anyāsāṁ
vārtāṁ ko ’pi mukhaṁ nayet
TRANSLATION
When Śrī Vasudeva brought me back from Gokula, the cries of the greatly distraught Yaśodā made even stones shed tears and lightning bolts shatter. And who can let the mouth speak about the other women of Vraja, who after Kṛṣṇa left became like living corpses?

TRANSLATION
Śrī Parīkṣit said: Because Rohiṇī had long lived in Gokula, its residents held her in high regard. She knew the inner meaning of Uddhava’s words. So with tears in her eyes, she decided to speak.

sāttvikāt pramudaṁ gataḥ
TRANSLATION
Śrī Parīkṣit said: Impelled by great respect for Nārada, Uddhava suddenly stood up, held Nārada’s feet, and embraced them. Aware of what Nārada was thinking, Uddhava remembered many devotees who had received the Lord’s special favor. As Uddhava meditated on those devotees, their love for the Lord, and the wealth of their loving ecstasies, he felt distress, thinking himself fallen, and cried helplessly. Only with some effort was he able to regain his composure. Then he became joyful and spoke to the sage, moved by the sāttvika emotion of jealousy.
