Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu .5.29
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
There is a statement in the Vidagdha-mādhava wherein Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, in an angry mood, addressed Paurṇamāsī after she had accused Rādhārāṇī of going to Kṛṣṇa. “My dear mother,” Rādhā declared, “what can I say to you? Kṛṣṇa is so cruel that He often attacks Me on the street, and if I want to cry out very loudly, this boy with a peacock feather on His head immediately covers My face so that I cannot cry. And if I want to go away from the scene because I am afraid of Him, He will immediately spread His arms to block My path. If I piteously fall down at His feet, then this enemy of the Madhu demon, in an angry mood, bites My face! Mother, just try to understand My situation, and don’t be unnecessarily angry with Me. Instead, please tell Me how I can save Myself from these terrible attacks of Kṛṣṇa!”
These are the angry words of Rādhā to Paurṇamāsī, who was testing her love. She describes the behavior of Kṛṣṇa when He makes His appearance before her, as if He were actually present.
