You made Me believe that I would meet Krishna and submerge in the nectar ocean of His loving embrace. Enticing Me, You took Me from My house and immediately brought Me back. O sakh\u012b! What fault have I made that has denied Me the ocean of nectar?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cO sakh\u012b! The sun just set in the western sky and now it is ascending the eastern mountain. Was the previous night just an illusion like a flower in the sky? O sakh\u012b! My eyes, ears and tongue burn with the fever of intense longing. But curses on them a hundred times! Today they did not let Me drink a drop of the nectar of Krishna\u2019s sweet form, voice or lips.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lalit\u0101 replied,<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cO R\u0101dh\u0101!

Union with Acyuta made You taste the sweetness of His words, lips and form. But separation tortures You like a deadly poison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the rapture of love, V\u1e5b\u1e63abh\u0101nunandini failed to grasp Lalit\u0101\u2019s words. R\u0101dhik\u0101, hoping to see Her cherished lord in a dream, lay down and fell asleep<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/7267DB53-53C5-4DDE-B2F7-4D2B5030D2A1#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\" rel=\"nofollow\">[3]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sakh\u012b, who was not present during R\u0101dh\u0101-M\u0101dhava\u2019s waking pastimes, said to another,<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLook sakh\u012b! R\u0101dhik\u0101 has returned from the niku\u00f1ja and secretly slipped into Her sleeping chamber. The blue cloth on Her head repeatedly slips off and She wearily replaces it. Her clothes and ornaments are disarrayed due to love sports. R\u0101dh\u0101\u2019s tired eyes glance hither and thither while She weakly tries to retie Her loosened braid<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/7267DB53-53C5-4DDE-B2F7-4D2B5030D2A1#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\" rel=\"nofollow\">[4]<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During every yuga, the \u0100di-puru\u1e63a manifests, maintains and annihilates the universes.

At that time, the personified \u015brutis, who expand the Lord\u2019s pastimes, enter unseen into His transcendental body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, after performing His ku\u00f1ja- l\u012bl\u0101, Krishna returned home and lay down in bed.
