SB 10.47.13

The bee seemed to say, "This yellow color is my natural color as a bee. It is not the kumkuma from Krsna’s alliance with another woman. What offense has Krsna committed? He thinks only of you, and does not see another woman in Mathura even while dreaming. Why you become so angry?" "After making us drink the nectar of his lips just once, he has given us up. That is his offense." Though Krsna had actually kissed the gopis many times, by saying that he kissed them only once she expresses her extreme thirst, out of attachment to him. "And because his lips are nectar, in spite of our suffering we do not die. Krsna previously considered, 'If they all die of such torment, then who will be left that I can torture?' Thus he has made us drink the nectar of his lips so that this does not happen." That is the meaning of her words. "Then after giving us a taste, he immediately leaves us. You should consider that if he really wanted to give us happiness, he would have forcibly made us drink the nectar repeatedly." The buzzing bee said, "But how could you chaste women become so desirous of him?" Radha said, "That nectar destroys our intelligence. By tasting that nectar our hopes in this and next life have all been destroyed. Krsna does not consider the saying, ‘One should not cut down with ones own hand even a poisonous tree that one has planted and raised oneself.’ What he likes and dislikes is astonishing. Just as Visnu made the devatas drink nectar churned from the ocean, Krsna has made us drink nectar yet he abandons us just as someone like you (bhavadrk), a bee, abandons a jasmine flower. " The bee said, " But when he abandons you, are you at fault or is he?" Radha answered, "He gives us up, like the bee gives up the jasmine. You should consider whose fault that is. We are also famous in Vraja as sumana, being like the jasmine (sumanasa) in fragrance, softness, purity and attractiveness, and because we have splendid minds (su manas), whereas he is famous as being fickle like the bee, only interested in his own pleasure. I am not just reciting poetry. The bee, because of his fickleness, after giving up many jasmine flowers, becomes attracted or attached to inferior flowers. Why should we not become angry with Krsna, just as we would with the bee?" The bee argued, "It is well known from the scriptures that Krsna is without fault. Garga, knowledgeable of scriptures, has said that he is equal to Narayana." Radha answered, "Well, that may be, but how can that cover up what we see in real life-such as the way he cheats others?" Pondering this, she found a reason why Laksmi serves him. "Laksmi serves him, because her mind is attracted to the glorification given to Uttama sloka (he who is glorified) by his own men. Laksmi however is very simply whereas we have been endowed by the creator with skill, intelligence, slyness, and beauty. How can we be like her?" "By making us drink, we lose our intelligence" shows Krsna’s deceptive nature. "He instantly gives them up" indicates his mercilessness. "Like you the bee (bhavadrk)" indicates Krsna’s fickleness. By revealing Laksmi as simple, Radha indicates her own cleverness. All the words indicate Krsna’s ungrateful nature and lack of love for them. This verse is an example of parijalpa. The symptoms of parijalpa are mentioned in the Ujjvala Nilamani: "When a person reveals indirectly their own cleverness while enumerating another’s faults of mercilessness, craftiness and fickleness, and other qualities (ungratefulness, love of love) it is called parijalpa."
