Verse 40

³⁶So, showing one another these things, the cowherd women wandered on, out of their senses. And the cowherd woman whom Krsna had taken away, leaving the other women in the wood, ³⁷she thought herself then the best of all women: he has left the cowherd women who want him, and my beloved turns to me. ³⁸Then, going into a part of the wood, in her pride she said to Kesava: I cannot walk any further. Carry me wherever your mind goes. ³⁹So spoken to, he said to the woman he loved: climb on my shoulder. And then Krsna vanished, and she burned. ⁴⁰My lord, my lover, dearest, where are you, where are you, great-armed one? I am your servant and I am wretched: friend, show yourself here beside me.
