Madhya 2.23

TEXT 23

TEXT

অন্যের যে দুঃখ মনে, অন্যে তাহা নাহি জানে,
সত্য এই শাস্ত্রের বিচারে ।
অন্য জন কাহাঁ লিখি, না জানয়ে প্রাণসখী,
যাতে কহে ধৈর্য ধরিবারে ॥ ২৩ ॥

anyera ye duḥkha mane, anye taha nahi jane,

satya ei sastrera vicare

anya jana kahah likhi, na janaye prana-sakhi,

yate kahe dhairya dharibare

SYNONYMS

anyera-of others; ye-that; duḥkha-unhappiness; mane-in the minds; anye-others; taha-that; nahi-do not; jane-know; satya-truth; ei-this; sastrera-of scripture; vicare-in the judgment; anya jana-other persons; kahah-what; likhi-I shall write; na janaye-do not know; prana-sakhi-My dear friends; yate-by which; kahe-speak; dhairya dharibare-to take patience.

TRANSLATION

"In the scriptures it is said that one person can never know the unhappiness in the mind of another. Therefore what can I say of My dear friends, Lalita and the others? Nor can they understand the unhappiness within Me. They simply try to console Me repeatedly, saying, 'Dear friend, be patient.'
