Verse Text
cāpalaṁ, yathā śrī-kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛte (32) –
tvac-chaiśavaṁ tri-bhuvanādbhutam ity avehi
mac-cāpalaṁ ca tava vā mama vādhigamyam |
tat kiṁ karomi viralaṁ muralī-vilāsi
mugdhaṁ mukhāmbujam udīkṣitum īkṣaṇābhyām ||106||
Translation
An example of cāpalam (insolence) utkaṇṭḥitam, from Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta: You know that Your sweet youth astonishes all three worlds. Thus, You and I can understand my insolence arising from my desire to see You. Give me some instruction. What should I do to see Your rare lotus face with the attractive flute?
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Viralam (rare) indicates that His face can be seen by some very few fortunate souls.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
In the Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura has explained his restlessness as follows: “My dear Lord, Your naughtiness in boyhood is the most wonderful thing in the three worlds. And You Yourself know what this naughtiness is. As such, You can very easily understand my flickering mind. This is known to You and me. Therefore, I am simply yearning to know how I can fix my mind on Your lotus feet.”
