TRANSLATION

" 'My dear friend kurari, it is now night, and Lord Sri Krsna is sleeping. You yourself are not asleep or resting but are lamenting. Should I presume that you, like us, are affected by the smiling, liberal, playful glances of the lotus-eyed Krsna? If so, your heart is deeply pierced. Is that why you are showing these signs of sleepless lamentation?'

PURPORT

This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.90.15). Although the queens were with Krsna, they were still thinking of losing His company.
