Madhava Parihara Patima Tarangam
O Madhava, give up this wave of cunning display — who is there that does not know your game?
Go delight the woman lying within your own heart, your own beloved.
What use is she now, this offending Radhika of yours?
Your eye is already rolling with sleep — go now, rest in bed for a while.
Apply plenty of ointment, so that this network of nail-marks on you may disappear.
Here, amid a chattering row of her friends, a young girl delights in you even now.
O eternal lord, I bow to you — delay no longer here in this courtyard.
About Madhava Parihara Patima Tarangam
Paired in the source collection with the previous verse, this piece answers it: a sakhi's sharp rebuke, needling Krishna to drop his cleverness and go make peace with the waiting Radha, pointing out the tell-tale nail-marks on his own body as evidence his games have gone on long enough.
