A
- After hearing the bumblebee’s sweet songs and recognizing that the bee was singing about Krsna for Her (Radharani's) satisfaction, the gopi replied: Dear bumblebee, Krsna has no residence here, but we know Him as Yadupati - the King of the Yadu dynasty
- All the queens incessantly thought of Krsna. After their pastimes in the water, the queens said, “Our dear friend the osprey, Krsna is now asleep, but we stay awake at night because of Him
- All the women in the three worlds where death is inevitable - the heavenly, middle & lower planets - are very easily available to Krsna because His curved eyebrows are so attractive. Moreover, He is always served very faithfully by the goddess of fortune
- Anyone who drinks even a small drop of krsna-katha through aural reception is freed from all material attachment and envy. Like a bird with no means of subsistence, such a person becomes a mendicant and lives by begging
D
- Dear cloud, O friend of Krsna’s, are you thinking of the Srivatsa symbol on Krsna’s chest like us queens engaged in loving affairs with Him? You are absorbed in meditation, remembering the association of Krsna, and thus you shed tears of misery
- Dear cuckoo, you possess a very sweet voice, and you are very expert in imitating others. You could excite even a dead body with your voice. Therefore, tell the queens that good behavior is their proper duty
- Do not tell Krsna what I (Radharani) have said, although I know that you (bumblebee) are very envious. We gopis have given up our husbands, sons & all the religious principles that promise better births, now we have no business other than serving Krsna
H
- Having been touched by the lotus feet of Krsna, all the queens are very happy. Are you crying to wear Krsna’s garland on your head? Please answer these questions clearly, O cakravaki, so that we can understand
- He (Krsna) is praised for His kindness to unfortunate persons and that He is therefore known as Uttamasloka, one who is praised by chosen words and verses
- How has Krsna offended the gopis so that they want to reject Him from their minds? The answer is given as follows
I
- I (Radharani) do not know why the goddess of fortune continues to serve His lotus feet instead of leaving them aside. Apparently she believes in Krsna’s false words. We gopis, however, are not unintelligent like Laksmi
- I (Radharani) know that Mukunda has taught you to speak very sweet, flattering words like this and to act as His messenger. These are certainly clever tricks, My dear bumblebee, but I can understand them. This is Krsna’s offense
- I (Radharani) know that once one begins to talk about Krsna, it is very difficult to stop, and I admit that I have insufficient strength to give up talking about Him
- In another version, the last line of this verse (of CC Antya 19.95) reads kamadevera mana kaila curi. This means - the scent of all these substances mixes with the previous scent of Krsna’s body and steals away the mind of Cupid
- In comparison with her (the goddess of fortune), we are most insignificant. Indeed, we are nothing. Yet although He is very cunning, Krsna is also very charitable
- In His incarnation as Vamanadeva, He (Krsna) plundered Bali Maharaja and took all his possessions, cheating him on the pretext of accepting worship from him
- Indeed, the touch of Krsna's nails has injured our faces. He has caused us so much pain! Therefore, you should give up topics concerning Him and talk about something else. After hearing all these from Srimati Radhika, the bumblebee left and then returned
K
- Kaviraja Gosvami says that he has been able to describe these 4 pastimes of Caitanya (devotion to His mother, His words of madness, rubbing His face against the walls & His dancing at the appearance of Krsna’s fragrance) by the blessings of Rupa Gosvami
- Krsna cannot give up conjugal love, and therefore I (Radharani) understand that you have come here to take us to Him. But how will you do that? We know that many goddesses of fortune now reside at Krsna’s chest, and they constantly serve Krsna
- Krsna directly attracts our minds, yet He resembles a bumblebee like you because He gives up the association of a beautiful flower and goes to a flower that is inferior. That is the way Krsna has treated us
- Krsna is now engaged in flattering all His young girlfriends in Mathura. Therefore, now that He can be called a friend of the residents of Mathura, He does not need the help of the residents of Vrndavana. He has no reason to satisfy us gopis
- Krsna is now living like a gentleman at the gurukula in Mathura, forgetting all the gopis of Vrndavana. But does He not remember the sweet house of His father, Nanda Maharaja
- Krsna no longer gives us the enchanting nectar of His lips; instead, He now gives that nectar to the women of Mathura
- Krsna, by controlling His mind, has easily forgotten us (gopis). Therefore, don’t speak of Him any more. Let us forget our relationship
- Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami was not actually a direct disciple of Srila Rupa Gosvami, but he followed the instructions given by Rupa Gosvami in the BRS. He therefore acted according to the directions of Rupa Gosvami & prayed in every chapter for his mercy
M
- May we inquire from you (swan) whether Krsna is happy? We want to know. Does He remember us? We know that goddess of fortune is serving Him alone. We are simply maidservants. How can we worship Him, who speaks sweet words but never fulfills our desires
- Mukunda’s business with us is simply to smear our marks of kunkuma. O ocean, you suffer as much as we
- My dear bumblebee, you are a very cunning friend of Uddhava and Krsna. You are very expert in touching people’s feet, but I am not going to be misled by this
O
- O cakravaki, you keep your eyes wide open at night because you cannot see your friend. Indeed, you are suffering very much. Is it because of compassion that you are crying, or are you trying to capture Krsna by remembering Him
- O collector of honey, Krsna must be very sorry not to see us gopis. Surely He is afflicted by memories of our pastimes. Therefore He has sent you as a messenger to satisfy us. Do not speak to us
- O magnanimous mountain, you are very grave and sober, absorbed in thoughts of doing something very great. Like us, you have vowed to keep within your heart the lotus feet of Krsna, the son of Vasudeva
- O Malayan breeze, kindly tell us what wrong we have done to you. Why do you fan the flames of desire in our hearts? We have been pierced by the arrow of Govinda’s glance, for He is perfect in the art of awakening the influence of Cupid
- O moon, Have you become mad after hearing the songs of Krsna? Is that why you are silent? Seeing your suffering, we feel that you are one of us
- O moon, you appear to be suffering from a severe fever, perhaps tuberculosis. Indeed, your effulgence does not have the strength to destroy the darkness
- O My dear messenger, I am just like a foolish bird that hears the sweet songs of a hunter, believes in them due to simplicity, and is then pierced in the heart and made to suffer all kinds of miseries
- O ocean, you have no opportunity to sleep quietly at night. Instead, you are always awake and crying. You have received this benediction, and your heart is broken just like ours
- O rivers, wives of the ocean, we see that the ocean does not give you happiness. Thus you have almost dried up, and you no longer bear beautiful lotuses. The lotuses have become skinny, and even in the sunshine they are devoid of all pleasure
- O swan, you have come here so happily! Let us welcome you. We understand that you are always Krsna’s messenger. Now while you drink this milk, tell us what His message is. Has Krsna said something about us to you
- Ordinary household affairs become miserable for him (anyone who drinks a small drop of krsna-katha), and without attachment he suddenly gives up everything. Although such renunciation is quite suitable, because I am a woman I am unable to adopt it
S
- Since you (bumblebee) are the messenger of such a person as He, what is the use of your presence here? Certainly Krsna would be ashamed of your presence in this assembly
- Srimati Radharani saw a bumblebee and began speaking to it like someone mad, thinking that the bee was a messenger of Uddhava’s or was someone very dear to him and Krsna
T
- The gopi said: You are Krsna’s very dear friend, and by His order you have come here again. Therefore you are worshipable for Me. O best of messengers, tell Me now, what is your request? What do you want
- The gopis lamented that Providence had made it possible for them to meet Krsna and Balarama in affection and love and had then separated them
- The hearts of us poor queens are all dried up, and our bodies are skinny because we are now devoid of loving affairs with Madhupati. Are you (river), like us, dry and without beauty because you are devoid of Krsna’s loving glance
- These songs (from CC Antya 19.108) of Srimad-Bhagavatam are verses 15-24 of the Ninetieth Chapter of the Tenth Canto
- This is a quotation (of CC Antya 19.70) from Srimad-Bhagavatam - SB 3.13.5
- This verse (of CC Antya 19.105) is quoted from the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu - 1.4.17
- This verse (of CC Antya 19.35) is found in the Lalita-madhava (3.25) of Srila Rupa Gosvami
- This verse (of CC Antya 19.45), quoted from Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 10.39.19), was chanted by the damsels of Vraja when Krsna left Vrndavana for Mathura with Akrura and Balarama
- This verse (of CC Antya 19.91) is found in the Govinda-lilamrta - 8.6
- Topics about Krsna are so powerful that they destroy the four religious principles - religion, economic development, sense gratification and liberation
W
- We (gopis) know Him very well, and therefore we are not interested in hearing any more songs about Him. It would be better for you (bumblebee) to go sing to those who are now very dear to Krsna
- We are all naturally His (Krsna's) maidservants. Does He not remember us? Does He ever speak about us, or has He forgotten us completely? Will He ever forgive us and once again touch us with those hands fragrant with the scent of aguru
- When Uddhava arrived from Mathura carrying a message for the gopis, the gopis began talking about Krsna and crying
- When we remember the past births of Krsna, My dear bumblebee, we are very much afraid of Him. In His incarnation as Lord Ramacandra, He acted just like a hunter and unjustly killed His friend Vali
- Women of Mathura have now achieved the opportunity of being embraced by Him (Krsna). They are His beloveds & therefore He has relieved the burning in their breasts. If you (bumblebee) go there & sing your songs to those women, they will be very pleased
Y
- You (bumblebee) appear to have sat on the breasts of one of Krsna’s friends, for I see that you have kunkuma dust on your mustache
- You (bumblebee) are buzzing at My (Radharani's) feet just to be forgiven for your past offenses. Kindly go away from My feet
- You laugh at us when you see us awake at night, but why are you not sleeping? You seem absorbed in thoughts of Krsna. Have you also been pierced by Krsna’s smile? His smile is very sweet. One who is pierced by such an arrow is very fortunate
