Translation

Verse 1

O friend, my restless heart sinks in anguish, because I did not embrace here the hero of Gokula when I had the chance.

Verse 2

I did not listen, even a little, to the well-meaning advice of my dearest friends, nor to Madhava's own conciliatory words.

Verse 3

I did not even look at my beloved, though he offered me a magnificent necklace and bowed low before me again and again, the most excellent of lovers.

Verse 4

Alas, why did I not draw to my own breast my beloved, endowed with eternal, constant qualities, as he came toward me?
