CC Madhya 2.19
Bengali
উপজিল প্রেমাঙ্কুর, ভাঙ্গিল যে দুঃখ-পূর,
কৃষ্ণ তাহা নাহি করে পান ।
বাহিরে নাগররাজ, ভিতরে শঠের কাজ,
পরনারী বধে সাবধান ॥ ১৯ ॥
কৃষ্ণ তাহা নাহি করে পান ।
বাহিরে নাগররাজ, ভিতরে শঠের কাজ,
পরনারী বধে সাবধান ॥ ১৯ ॥

Translation
[Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī spoke thus, in distress due to separation from Kṛṣṇa:] “Oh, what shall I say of My distress? After I met Kṛṣṇa My loving propensities sprouted, but upon separating from Him I sustained a great shock, which is now continuing like the sufferings of a disease. The only physician for this disease is Kṛṣṇa Himself, but He is not taking care of this sprouting plant of devotional service. What can I say about the behavior of Kṛṣṇa? Outwardly He is a very attractive young lover, but at heart He is a great cheat, very expert in killing others’ wives.”
