\nYe Others <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nYe others cannot conceive of the love that I bear to Krishna.
\nAnd your warnings to me are vain like the pleadings of the deaf and mute. The Boy who left his mother’s home and was
\nreared by a different mother,
\n\u2014 Oh, take me forth to his city of Mathura where He won the field without fighting the battle and
\nleave me there. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOf no further avail is modesty. For all the neighbours have
\nknown of this fully. Would ye really heal me of this ailing and restore me to my pristine state? Then know ye this illness will
\ngo if I see Him, the maker of illusions, the youthful one who measured the world. Should you really wish to save me, then
\ntake me forth to his home in the hamlet of the cowherds and leave me there.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nThe rumour is already spread over the land that I fled with Him and went the lonely way, leaving all of you behind \u2014 my
\nparents, relations and friends. The tongue of scandal ye can hardly silence now. And He, the deceiver, is haunting me with
\nhis forms. Oh, take me forth at midnight to the door of the Cowherd named Bliss who owns this son, the maker of havoc,
\nthis mocker, this pitiless player; and leave me there. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOh, grieve not ye, my mothers. Others know little of this
\nstrange malady of mine. He whose hue is that of the blue sea, a certain youth called Krishna \u2014 the gentle caress of his hand can
\nheal me, for his Yoga is sure and proved. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOn the bank of the waters he ascended the kadamba tree
\nand he leaped to his dance on the hood of the snake, the dance that killed the snake. Oh, take me forth to the bank of that lake
\nand leave me there. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nThere is a parrot here in this cage of mine that ever calls out
\nhis name, saying “Govinda, Govinda”. In anger I chide it and refuse to feed it. “O Thou” it then cries, in its highest pitch, “O
\nThou who hast measured the worlds.” I tell you, my people, if<\/span><\/p>\n

\nye really would avoid the top of scandal in all this wide country,
\nif still ye would guard your weal and your good fame, then take me forth to his city of Dwaraka of high mansions and decorated
\nturrets; and leave me there.  <\/span><\/p>\n
