Srimad Bhagavatam 10.90.21 - Being Possessed of Krishna (download mp3)
by Sridama Prabhu at ISKCON Chowpatty
SB 10.90.21
priya-rava-padani bhasase
mrta-sañjivikayanaya gira
karavani kim adya te priyam
vada me valgita-kantha kokila
Translation:
O sweet-throated cuckoo, in a voice that could revive the dead you are vibrating the same sounds we once heard from our beloved, the most pleasing of speakers. Please tell me what I can do today to please you.
Purport:
As Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti explains, though the song of a cuckoo is very pleasant, Lord Krsna’s wives perceive it as painful because it reminds them of their beloved Krsna and exacerbates their pain of separation.
