An example: What is the use of eyes which do not see Mathurā, hearing whose name my hairs stand on end?
Purport
One devotee exclaimed, “Oh, I cannot see the district of Mathurā! Even though by simply hearing the name of Mathurā the hairs of my body are standing up, I cannot see the place. So of what use are my eyes?” This statement reveals a strong anxiety to see the district of Mathurā resulting from a strong attachment to Kṛṣṇa.

Commentary
The desire to see Mathurā is an expression of a genuine principal rati for the Lord. The vyabhicāri-bhāva of nirveda (self-deprecation) nourishes the rati directly.
