Verse Text
yathā –
dambhena bāṣpāmbu-jharasya keśavaṁ
vīkṣya dravac-cittam asusruvat tava |
ity uccakair dhārayato vicittatāṁ
citrā na te dāruka dāru-kalpatā ||85||
Translation
O Dāruka! Seeing Kṛṣṇa, your heart used to turn liquid on the pretext of your gushing tears. Now, in separation from Kṛṣṇa, it is not astonishing that you, Dāruka, have become like a doll made out of wood (dārukalpatā) out of extreme loss of consciousness.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
One devotee told Dāruka, the servant of Kṛṣṇa, “My dear Dāruka, when you become like wood because of your separation from Kṛṣṇa, it is not so wonderful. Whenever any devotee sees Kṛṣṇa, his eyes become filled with water, and in separation any devotee like you would become stunned, standing just like a wooden doll. That is not a very wonderful thing.”
