TEXT 280
- ihā chāḍi’ kṛṣṇa yadi haya anyākāra
- gopikāra bhāva nāhi yāya nikaṭa tāhāra
SYNONYMS
ihā — this; chāḍi’ — giving up; kṛṣṇa — Kṛṣṇa; yadi — if; haya — takes; anya-ākāra — another form; gopikāra — of the gopīs; bhāva — the ecstasy; nāhi — does not; yāya — arise; nikaṭa — near; tāhāra — that (form).
TRANSLATION
If Lord Kṛṣṇa gives up this original form and assumes another Viṣṇu form, nearness to Him cannot invoke the ecstatic mood of the gopīs.
