anyera ye duḥkha mane, anye tāhā nāhi jāne,

satya ei śāstrera vicāre

anya jana kāhāṅ likhi, nā jānaye prāṇa-sakhī,

yāte kahe dhairya dharibāre

SYNONYMS

anyera—of others; ye—that; duḥkha—unhappiness; mane—in the minds; anye—others; tāhā—that; nāhi—do not; jāne—know; satya—truth; ei—this; śāstrera—of scripture; vicāre—in the judgment; anya jana—other persons; kāhāṅ—what; likhi—I shall write; nā jānaye—do not know; prāṇa-sakhī—My dear friends; yāte—by which; kahe—speak; dhairya dharibāre—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, Lalitā and the others? Nor can they understand the unhappiness within Me. They simply try to console Me repeatedly, saying, ‘Dear friend, be patient.’
