Translation
Manyu against inferiors: Hey everyone! Look! This attractive necklace from Kṛṣṇa’s throat looks so nice on Rādhā’s breast! Aagh! This little girl, a black sprout in my family, is cheating me with duplicity.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
These are the words of Jaṭilā to Rādhā’s sakhīs, on seeing a pearl necklace of Kṛṣṇa being quickly removed from Rādhā’s body.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Once, when Rādhārāṇī was taking off the necklace given to Her by Kṛṣṇa, Jaṭilā, her mother-in-law, told a friend, “My dear friend, just see the beautiful necklace that Kṛṣṇa has presented to Rādhārāṇī. She is now holding it, but still She wants to tell us that She has no connection with Kṛṣṇa. This girl’s activities have disgraced our whole family!”
