radha-paksa chadi, je jana se jana
je bhave se bhave thake
ami to Radhika-paksa pati sada
kabhu nahi heri ta-ke

 

“I am always in Radhika’s entourage and I never look upon the faces of those who leave Her, no matter who they are or what is their mood.”

In other words, he is saying, “If someone thinks that the separation mood of Srimati Radhika is very good, I don’t want to see that person’s face! It would be a sinful act to see the face of such a person!”

Only Mathuravasis – only for those who are not able to appreciate vraja lila – like Akrura and Kamsa will want Radhika and Krsna to be separated. A rupanuga Vaisnava understands that everyone in Vraja is acting in such a way as to increase the happiness of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. Uddhava went to Vraja, realized the separation of the gopis to a certain extent, and then returned to Krsna and said, “You must go at once; otherwise, if You do not go, Nanda and Yasoda, all the gopis, and all the cows and calves will soon be dead. You must go there.”

Even Baladeva and Rohini-maiya told Krsna, “Why don’t you go to Vraja? All will die if You do not go.” Baladeva told Him, “If You do not go there, then I must go; and I will tell them that You are coming very soon.” Thus, all the Vrajavasis want Krsna to be with the gopis and with His father and mother in Vraja.
