Fifty-Fifth Chapter
SHREEMATI RADHIKA’S MANDATE
Shreemati Radhika spoke haltingly and in an aggrieved tone showing bitterness, looking at so many sakhis who were gathered by her side, “It is not that I do not want to speak to you my dear friends. All these years I have been barely surviving with the hope that one day I might be able to play a Ras leela with my Lord Krishna in Brindaban.
Now I have heard that Krishna has come over to Prabas tirth, with no hint of his coming to Brindaban. The news has snuffed the flame from the small candle that had been weakly illuminating my heart. I am now convinced that, in this life Hari will never come back to Braj.
My take on this is that there is no point for me living in Brindaban even for a moment longer. But I am unfortunate in that, unlike you all, I just cannot pack up and go. How can I, the wife of Ayan, just leave without his consent?” You know Jatila and Kutila, what they are like? Do you think they will agree to it? I have been proclaimed by them all these years as an unfortunate and shameless [Kalankini] illicit lover of Krishna.
