Viraha-bhakti
प्रहसितं प्रिय प्रेमवीक्षणं विहरणं च ते ध्यानमङ्गलम् । रहसि संविदो या हृदिस्पृश: कुहक नो मन: क्षोभयन्ति हि ॥ १० ॥
prahasitaṁ priya-prema-vīkṣaṇaṁ viharaṇaṁ ca te dhyāna-maṅgalam rahasi saṁvido yā hṛdi spṛśaḥ kuhaka no manaḥ kṣobhayanti hi
ស្នាមញញឹមរបស់ព្រះអង្គ ការសម្លឹងមើលដ៏ផ្អែមល្ហែមពោរពេញដោយសេចក្តីស្រឡាញ់ និងលីឡាអន្តរជិតស្និទ្ធជាមួយសន្ទនាសម្ងាត់ដែលយើងបានរីករាយជាមួយព្រះអង្គ—ទាំងនេះជាមង្គលសម្រាប់សមាធិ ហើយប៉ះពាល់ដល់បេះដូងយើង។ ប៉ុន្តែ ឱ អ្នកល្បិចកល ការចងចាំទាំងនេះក៏រំខានចិត្តយើងយ៉ាងខ្លាំងដែរ។
FAQs
This verse shows that even Krishna’s sweetest smiles, glances, and pastimes—though auspicious to meditate on—can intensify longing when He is absent; such separation deepens the devotee’s absorption in Him.
They speak from the pain of separation after Krishna’s rāsa-līlā disappearance; His enchanting love and private words once soothed them, but in His absence those same memories feel like teasing and thus 'deceptive.'
Turn emotional attachment into spiritual focus: regularly remember Krishna through prayer and sacred reading, and when longing or restlessness arises, redirect it into deeper chanting and contemplation rather than distraction.
