The female cowherd began to speak “ Oh! Madhupa/honey bee, do not touch our feet. You are already carrying the vermilion adorned in the bosom of women of Mathura, from their garlands adorned on their chest, do not appear before us as a messenger of him and hurt us.  Once, we have tasted the nectar-like saliva from the mouth of Krishna, we ran after him and fallen in love with him, we have abandoned our families and material world and surrendered at his lotus feet, he has abandoned us, so how could we call him pure and unblemished? Therefore do not touch us.  Oh! Madhupa, are you singing in praise of him? You can return to Krishna who is taking pleasure in the company of women in Mathura, and sing before him.  Whoever does not worship Krishna remains unfortunate.  The fortunate people worship Krishna with his grace, with the touch of dust from his feet; they would remain free from miseries of worldly existence.  Oh! Madhupa, Once, we were fortunate to have the nearness of his lotus feet, now we have abandon from that fortune as well.  Therefore we will not trust that black complexioned one. Once, a woman approached him with intense desire was disfigured by him, he fastened Bali who was willing to offer everything he has owned, therefore it is nothing new from him, he has abandoned us.  We have discarded our families and homes listening to his melodious music on flute, we abandoned our nest like birds, now we have no one to depend on, he has abandoned us.  We are like a herd of female deer searching for the male who kindled our emotions with his nail, now the messenger of Krishna has to speak all about his Master, we have nothing to remember other than Krishna, you have nothing else to talk other than Krishna, hence speak something other than him.  Oh! Madhupa when will Krishna come back? Did he enquire about us? Did he remember us? Will, it possible to meet him again? have the opportunity to get the nearness of his feet? Will have the fortune to adorn his feet on our heads?  Will we have the opportunity to keep his hands on our heads? have that pleasure to remain in his company? Kindly tell us in detail.”
