Kapatam Idam Tava Vindati
This deceit of yours, O Hari, will find no further opportunity among this circle of companions.
That clever woman whom you served, keeping awake, has conquered you in the night.
Do not swear any oath, O lord of Gokula — who is there that has not long known your true character by now?
In you, who have cast off the fullness of our lasting friendship, I will never again take any delight.
About Kapatam Idam Tava Vindati
A sharp little rebuke-song by Rupa Goswami, almost certainly drawn from one of his dramas, in which a sakhi confronts Krishna over some infidelity discovered by 'the clever lover of the night,' refusing his oaths of innocence and declaring, in the voice of wounded friendship, that she wants nothing further to do with him — a rare comic-jealous register among the mostly reverential verses in this batch.
