Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.62.15
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
ādharam madhu
—
the honey of (His) lips
Compound noun phrase: ādhara (lip) + madhu (honey). The phrase Mahāprabhu Himself uses in His Śikṣāṣṭaka and in the rasa-poetry He recites at Gambhīrā. Vraja's mādhurya is bodily and specific — lips, not abstractions.
-
pāyayitvā
—
having made (me) drink
Absolutive of the causative of √pā. The grammatical form does the theological work: the lover is the active causer; the beloved is made to drink. The Lord initiates the taste; the soul does not summon Him.
-
vṛjina-arṇave
—
in the ocean of distress
Compound: vṛjina (distress) + arṇave (in the ocean). Bhāgavata-imagery: bhava-arṇava (ocean of birth-and-death), duḥkha-arṇava (ocean of sorrow), and now vṛjina-arṇava. The remedy is always the same — Kṛṣṇa's hand, no other.
-
spṛhayatīm
—
hankering for Him
Present participle of √spṛh. Distinct from kāma: spṛhā is the directed reaching of the heart toward a person, not the bodily urge. Gauḍīyas honor spṛhā when it is for Kṛṣṇa — Rūpa Gosvāmī's last verses are pure spṛhā for the dust of Vraja.
He made me drink the honey of his lips. Though my desires were not fulfilled (spṛhayatīm), he left.
Like a cup pressed once to the lip and then withdrawn, leaving the taste but not the drink, Aniruddha's dream-kiss has cast Ūṣā into the ocean of separation. The Bhāgavatam keeps showing the same shape: a taste of the Lord is sweeter than every fulfillment — and more painful in its loss.
In Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya-līlā, the last twelve years of Mahāprabhu's life at the Gambhīrā in Purī were spent in continuous gopī-bhāva of separation. He would press His face against the walls, weep into Svarūpa Dāmodara's lap, recite verses about cups of nectar drunk and withdrawn.
Gauḍīyas read every line of Antya-līlā as commentary on this state: prema once tasted, then hidden, is the deepest form of the Lord's grace — vipralambha-bhāva. Ūṣā's complaint, asuric in setting, sketches the same shape from below.
