SB 10.47.19
vayam rtam iva jihma-vyahrtam sraddadhanah
kulika-rutam ivajñah krsna-vadhvo harinyah
dadrsur asakrd etat tan-nakha-sparsa-tivra
smara-ruja upamantrin bhanyatam anya-varta
Translation:
Faithfully taking His deceitful words as true, we became just like the black deer’s foolish wives, who trust the cruel hunter’s song. Thus we repeatedly felt the sharp pain of lust caused by the touch of His nails. O messenger, please talk about something besides Krsna.
Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti categorizes this statement of Srimati Radharani’s as ajalpa, as defined by Srila Rupa Gosvami:
jaihmyam tasyarti-datvam ca
nirvedad yatra kirtitam
bhangyanya-sukha-datvam ca
sa ajalpa udiritah
“A statement spoken in disgust, describing how the male lover is deceitful and brings one misery, and also implying that He gives happiness to others, is known as ajalpa.” (Ujjvala-nilamani 14.196)
