Varaya Turnam Imam
O friend, quickly restrain this Krsna — he has set his heart on such improper deeds!
My body trembles, its hairs standing on end from fear — yet you laugh on, so full of your own pride.
I know you, my friend, to be truly against me, for it was you who led me here into this forest thicket.
Today, this eternal cause of supreme happiness — I shall not abandon this bond forged by providence.
About Varaya Turnam Imam
A companion piece by Rupa Goswami to the same purva-raga scene, in which the heroine protests that her friend has betrayed her by leading her into Krsna's path, trembling with feigned fear at his laughter — yet closes, like its companion verse, by confessing that she will never abandon this bond forged by providence itself.
