4. Khaṇḍitā: On the body of late-arriving Kṛṣṇa she sees the marks of His having enjoyed with another gopī. 5. Vipralabdhā: She goes to the place of rendezvous, but Kṛṣṇa never comes.
6. Kalahāntaritā: Sending Kṛṣṇa away in a jealous argument, she becomes very unhappy. 7. Proṣita-bhartṛkā: Her beloved Kṛṣṇa goes to Mathurā and does not return even after many
days. She suffers greatly.
