Cancala Munca Patancala
O restless one, release the edge of my garment; I must now go perform my sun-worship.
Do not harass me here, seeing me, a chaste woman with nowhere else to turn.
O hero of Gokula, do not cause delay; O moon-faced one, I offer you this heap of entreaties.
Alone in this secluded place, O eternal Lord, I fear, seeing your restless, roving glance.
About Cancala Munca Patancala
A four-line Sanskrit verse of Rupa Goswami placed in Radha's mouth (a radha-vakya), in which she, playing the role of a chaste woman about to perform her sun-worship, asks Krishna to release her garment and stop delaying her, while admitting that her real fear lies in his restless, roving glance -- a compact example of the outward propriety and inward surrender that runs through Rupa Gosvami's short Vraja-lila verses.
