Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 12
विदधे वज्रमयं तु किं न्विदं हृदयं मेऽतिकठोरमेव हि । शतधा न विदीर्यते यतो विरहे दुर्विषहे मधुद्विषः
vidadhe vajramayaṃ tu kiṃ nvidaṃ hṛdayaṃ me'tikaṭhorameva hi | śatadhā na vidīryate yato virahe durviṣahe madhudviṣaḥ
أترى الخالقَ قد صنع قلبي من ألماس—قاسيًا إلى هذا الحدّ—إذ لا ينشطر إلى مئة شظيّة، حتى في هذا الفراق الذي لا يُحتمل عن مدهودفيش (كريشنا)؟
Rukmiṇī
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Close-up emotional portrait: tears, trembling hands on chest; behind, a faint vision of Kṛṣṇa as Madhusūdana with cakra, or his absence symbolized by an empty throne; the sea wind heightens desolation.
