She abandoned household work and worldly shame for the mind-enchanting One; Mohana forgot even to play His flute. Just watch, says Rasakhān—within two days the news will spread. Companion, how long can the moon be hidden in one’s hands? Only yesterday on Kālindī’s bank they suddenly caught sight of one another, both turning back from opposite directions to smile. Each falls at the other’s feet and circles blessings over the other: He has forgotten the cows, and she has forgotten to lift her water-pot.

The moment they saw that lovely, enchanting form, every woman cast away her husband’s claim. Their bird-like lives fell fluttering, helpless with longing in the net of His beauty.

Friend, I lost myself in the crowd at the holy place and slipped for a moment from my nurse’s arm. Wandering and wandering, I emerged in the very courtyard belonging to Yaśodā’s family.

Friend, from the moment I went to Yamunā’s bank, I have remained there in the minds of the world. Seeking Vraja’s Mohana, I was plundered—and would accept that plunder a hundred thousand times.
