মথুরা যাইব আমি এত লোক সঙ্গে ।
কিছু সুখ না পাইব, হবে রসভঙ্গে ॥ ২২৯ ॥

mathura-the holy place of the name Mathura; yaiba-shall go; ami-I; eta-so many; loka-people; saṅge-with; kichu-any; sukha-happiness; na-not; paiba-I shall get; habe-there will be; rasa-bhaṅge-a disturbance in the atmosphere.

TRANSLATION

The Lord thought: "If I go to Mathura with such crowds behind Me, it would not be a very happy situation, for the atmosphere would be disturbed."
