Suna Vrsabhanu Nandini Rai
Listen, O Radha, daughter of Vrsabhanu — among the circle of young women you have kept your good name; that is well done indeed.
The son of Nanda, ornament among princes, a bed of delight for the eyes — in what moment did he give his love to you, that you have cast it all far away?
Seeing you thus turn cold and indifferent toward him, he fell senseless; O cruel one, how could you speak such words, a merciless spear in his heart?
Your lover lies covered in dust, and it does not touch you at all; his face resting on his left palm, hanging low, he traces lines on the ground and weeps.
Whoever does not know the anguish shared between these two — know that person's heart to be without feeling. Heed these words, O Raya Ramacandra — thus says servant Govinda.
About Suna Vrsabhanu Nandini Rai
A Braj pada by Govinda Dasa Kaviraja depicting Radha's mana, the sulking estrangement that follows harsh words between her and Krsna: a sakhi describes Krsna wandering alone, dust-covered and weeping, his face fallen against his palm, while warning that whoever fails to feel the pain shared between the divine pair has no heart at all.
