    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 113


    śrī-parīkṣid uvāca
    śrīmad-gopāla-devas tac
    chrutvā sambhrānti-yantritaḥ
    jātāntas-tāpataḥ śuṣyan-
    mukhābjaḥ śaṅkayākulaḥ

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Parīkṣit said: Having heard all this, the blessed Lord Gopāla felt overwrought with worry for His devotees. Scorching anxiety dried up His lotus face. He was filled with dread.

    vṛkṣādibhis tv antarite kadācid
    asmin sati syāt saha-cāriṇāṁ bhṛśam
    śrī-kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇeti mahā-pluta-svarair
    āhvāna-bhaṅgyākulatā sa-rodanā

    TRANSLATION

    O virtuous lady, if trees or other obstacles block Kṛṣṇa from sight even briefly, His companions at once shed tears and call in anxious, drawn-out voices, “Śrī Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!”

    śrī-nanda uvāca
    dravyāṇy ādau prema-cihnāni putra
    etāny atra prāhiṇot satya-vākyaḥ
    śīghraṁ paścād āgamiṣyaty avaśyaṁ
    tatratyaṁ sva-prastutārthaṁ samāpya

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Nanda said: Our son is an honest person who always speaks the truth. He has first sent us these things, as tokens of His love. He is sure to come back to us quickly, as soon as He finishes what He has to do in Mathurā.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 79


    śrīmad-uddhava uvāca
    na rāja-rājeśvaratā-vibhūtīr
    na divya-vastūni ca te bhavattaḥ
    na kāmayante ’nyad apīha kiñcid
    amutra ca prāpyam ṛte bhavantam

    TRANSLATION

    Śrīmān Uddhava said: The people of Vraja don’t want from You the power and wealth of emperors, nor the enjoyments found in heaven, nor anything else obtainable in this world or the next. They desire nothing else but You.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Texts 70-72


    tataḥ padmāvatī rājya-
    dāna-bhītā vimūḍha-dhīḥ
    mahiṣī yadu-rājasya
    vṛddhā mātāmahī prabhoḥ

    apy uktāśravaṇāt pūrvaṁ

    rāma-mātrāvahelitā
    sva-bhartū rakṣituṁ rājyaṁ
    cāturyāt parihāsa-vat

    vyāhāra-paripāṭyānya-

    cittatāpādanena tam
    yadu-vaṁśyaika-śaraṇaṁ
    vidhātuṁ svastham abravīt

    TRANSLATION

    Then, fearing that the kingdom was about to be given away, old Padmāvatī, the Lord’s grandmother, the queen of the Yadu king Ugrasena, gathered her muddled wits and cleverly feigned a joking spirit. To protect her husband’s domain, she spoke up again, even though Balarāma’s mother had snubbed her by ignoring her previous remarks. Invoking eloquence, Padmāvatī tried to change the mood, to bring Kṛṣṇa, the exclusive shelter of the Yadu dynasty, back to normal.

    idam ākarṇya bhagavān
    utthāya śayanād drutam
    priya-prema-parādhīno
    rudann uccair bahir gataḥ

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Parīkṣit said: Hearing this, the Personality of Godhead, who is ruled by the love of those dear to Him, suddenly got up from His bed and came outside, loudly weeping.

    śrī-baladeva uvāca
    vadhvaḥ sahaja-tatratya-
    dainya-vārtā-kathā-parān
    asmān vañcayato bhrātur
    idaṁ kapaṭa-pāṭavam

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Baladeva said: Dear ladies, all this is nothing but My brother’s clever deception. We are intent upon speaking about the misery of the residents of Vraja — misery all too real — and He is simply cheating us.

    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.
