From Dāna-keli-kaumudī: O friend! Without hearing the words of Mādhava, my ears may as well become deaf. Without seeing the form of Mādhava, my eyes may as well become blind.
Purport
In Dāna-keli-kaumudī Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī addresses one of Her friends in this manner: “My dear friend, if I cannot hear of the glorious activities of Kṛṣṇa, it is better for Me to become deaf. And because I am now unable to see Him, it would be good for Me to be a blind woman.” This is another instance of disappointment due to separation from Kṛṣṇa.

Commentary
The form aśravaṇiḥ comes from the rule ākrośe naṣ yaniḥ. (Pāṇini 3.3.112) [Note: The affix ani can be added after a word when the syllable “a” precedes the word with meaning of negation. As well there should be a sense of cursing or misfortune expressed.]
