Translation
Keep your head off My feet! I know what you’re doing. You expertly learned diplomacy from Mukunda, and now you come as His messenger with flattering words. But He abandoned those who for His sake alone gave up their children, husbands and all other relations. He’s simply ungrateful. Why should I make up with Him now?
Purport
According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, this verse illustrates the qualities of sañjalpa, as described by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī in the following verse of his Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi (14.190):
solluṇṭhayā gahanayā
kayāpy ākṣepa-mudrayā
tasyākṛta-jñatādy-uktiḥ
sañjalpaḥ kathito budhaiḥ
kayāpy ākṣepa-mudrayā
tasyākṛta-jñatādy-uktiḥ
sañjalpaḥ kathito budhaiḥ
“The learned describe sañjalpa as that speech which decries with deep irony and insulting gestures the beloved’s ungratefulness and so on.” Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī points out that the word ādi, “and so on,” implies the perception in one’s lover of hardheartedness, of an inimical attitude and of a complete lack of love.
