tasam mukundo madhu-mañju-bhasitair

 grhita-cittah para-van manasvy api

katham punar nah pratiyasyate ’bala

 gramyah salajja-smita-vibhramair bhraman

 

Translation: 

 

O gopis, although our Mukunda is intelligent and very obedient to His parents, once He has fallen under the spell of the honey-sweet words of the women of Mathura and been enchanted by their alluring, shy smiles, how will He ever return to us unsophisticated village girls?
