(Gopis – to each other) What shall we do for this? What a terrible word did Krishna utter!

maguvalaNTE inta vAdA mAku
mAnamE prANamu kAdA

Is he disputing so much just because we are women? Isn’t our honour (as important as) our life itself?

gusagusa-landEmi vaccu celula
usuruNTE² Uru pOvaccu

[Krishna] What will happen by your whispering to each other, damsels? We may be able to reach home only if we are alive.

vanitala kaniyevarikaina³ kRSNA
vaJcanagA palka tagunA

[Gopis] O Krishna! Is it befitting for anyone to speak craftily towards women?

haThamu sEya vELa kAdu Atma-
hatya kAni vEre lEdu

[Krishna] This is not the time to be obstinate; this is nothing but suicide.

nagnamugA nilva vazamA kRSNA
nalugurilO nIku yazamA

[Gopis] Krishna! Is it possible for us to stand naked? Will (making us do so) bring fame for You?

nA mATalu vini mIru vEga⁴
nanu gaTTu jErca pOnIru

[Krishna] You will not allow me reach shore quickly by listening to my words.

lalanala pApamulEmO
IlAgu vrAtaluNDenEmO

[Gopis – among themselves] Is this (situation) because of our sins, or is this due to our fate?

velaku tIsina valapu rAdu kAna
veladulayika namma rAdu

[Krishna] Affection cannot be bought for a price; therefore these girls shall not be trusted anymore.

rAjanya iTuyeJca valadu
tyAgarAja vinuta prEma kaladu

[Gopis] O Prince! You should not think thus; One praised by Tyagaraja! we have abundant love towards You.
