Bhāvanā-Sāra-Saṅgrahaḥ, Prātaḥ 48-49



इति सप्रणयवाचा सादरं पृच्छ्यमाना पटवृत-मुखचन्द्रा स्वच्छचित्ता बतासौ ।
मुदमथ जनयन्ती पार्श्वगानां सखीनामवनि-निहित-दृष्टिं सस्मितः प्रत्युवाच ॥ ४८ ॥

iti sapraṇaya-vācā sādaraṁ pṛcchyamānā
paṭa-vṛta-mukhacandrā svaccha-cittā batāsau |
mudam atha janayantī pārśvagānāṁ sakhīnām
avani-nihita-dṛṣṭiṁ sasmitaḥ pratyuvāca || 48 ||

     Being questioned by Śyāmalā in this respectful and affectionate way, pure-hearted Rādhā covered her moonlike face with her dress and looked toward the floor. Surrounded by her joyful sakhīs, she smiled sweetly and began to speak.


क्वाहं स्थिता क्व चलिता क्व च वा स पन्था नीतास्मि केन नलिनाक्षि तदीय पार्श्वम् ।
किंवा बभूव मयि तत्र समेतवत्यां जानाम्यहं यदि तदा भवती न वेत्ति ॥ ४९ ॥

kvāhaṁ sthitā kva calitā kva ca vā sa panthā
nītāsmi kena nalinākṣi tadīya pārśvam |
kiṁvā babhūva mayi tatra sametavatyāṁ
jānāmy ahaṁ yadi tadā bhavatī na vetti || 49 ||

     “O lotus-eyed one! If I know where I was, where I went, on what path I walked with him, or how I arrived in such and such a place, how is it that you don’t know?”* (Ānanda-Vṛndāvana-Campūḥ 11.221)

*(“After all, I never do anything without consulting you.”)
