Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.47.41
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
rati-viśeṣa-jñaḥ
—
expert in the specific aspects of conjugal affairs
Compound: rati (love-rasa) + viśeṣa (specific varieties) + jñaḥ (knower). Kṛṣṇa as rasika-naṭa-vara. Rūpa Gosvāmī catalogs these viśeṣas in Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi; the gopīs allude to that entire treatise in one word.
-
anubadhyeta
—
will not become bound
Optative passive of anu + √bandh (to bind after). The gopīs ask: will He not become bound? The verb is precisely the one Bhagavān avoids by His nature — yet in mādhurya He freely binds Himself.
-
vibhramaiḥ
—
with bewildering gestures
From vi + √bhram (to wander, confuse). Vibhrama is rasa-shastra's term for the playful confused gestures of love-art — among the twenty hāva-bhāvas catalogued in Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi.
According to Śrīdhara Svāmī, each of these verses is spoken by a different gopī.
"O foolish women, are you asking this same question again? You should have not doubt about this." In this way other gopis began to speak sarcastically with inner anger. "Because Krsna knows everything about love affairs, he has become the darling of the women of Mathura. How can he not become attached? Being constantly honored by their words and services (anubhajitah), Krsna will respond to them, or will be forced to render service to them also. We village women do not desire to give any love to that madman. We don’t know skilful use of words and gestures. We have concluded correctly that he has given us up on attaining the women of Mathura." That is the sense of the question they ask in this verse.
Does one need to ask? There is no doubt about this. He is pleasing with his dress, form and ornaments. He is worshipped by their words and coy gestures. Together they show cleverness which increases their affection for each other. How can he not become attracted to them? This will definitely happen. Or he will not be attracted by their words and gestures. He will not be controlled. He will be worshipped by them. Or if you say that he will not associate with them--that is not possible. This verse describes the situation. He will be attracted to them. He will not give pleasure to us.
- Whose collective worry are you part of, and could you offer it as a group rather than alone?
- Where does community grief help you carry what you couldn't alone?
He is rati-viśeṣa-jña — expert in every nuance of conjugal art. The gopīs sigh: how could He not be caught by such practiced beauties? The line is half complaint, half pride — they alone taught Him, and now the lesson is being practiced on others.
