না গণি আপন-দুঃখ, দেখি' ব্ৰজেশ্বরী-মুখ,
ব্রজজনের হৃদয় বিদরে ।
কিবা মার' ব্রজবাসী, কিবা জীয়াও ব্রজে আসি',
কেন জীয়াও দুঃখ সহাইবারে ? ১৪৫ ॥
na gani apana-duhkha, dekhi' vrajesvari-mukha,
vraja-janera hrdaya vidare
kiba mara' vraja-vasi, kiba jiyao vraje asi',
kena jiyao duhkha sahaibare?
na gani-I do not care; apana-duhkha-My personal unhappiness; dekhi'-seeing; vrajesvari-mukha-the face of mother Yasoda; vraja-janera-of all the inhabitants of Vrndavana; hrdaya vidare-the hearts break; kiba-whether; mara' vraja-vasi-You want to kill the inhabitants of Vrndavana; kiba-or; jiyao-You want to keep their lives; vraje asi'-coming in Vrndavana; kena-why; jiyao-You let them live; duhkha sahaibare-just to cause to suffer unhappiness.
" 'I do not care for My personal unhappiness, but when I see the morose face of Your mother Yasoda and the hearts of all the inhabitants of Vrndavana breaking because of You, I wonder whether You want to kill them all. Is it that You want to enliven them by coming there? Why is it You are simply keeping them alive in a state of suffering?
