apy eṣyatīha dāśārhas taptāḥ sva-kṛtayā śucā sañjīvayan nu no gātrair yathendro vanam ambudaiḥ
តើព្រះក្រឹស្ណៈ ជាវង្សដាសារហៈ នឹងត្រឡប់មកទីនេះ ហើយដោយការប៉ះពាល់នៃអង្គកាយព្រះองค์ នឹងធ្វើឲ្យយើងដែលកំពុងឆេះដោយទុក្ខសោកដែលព្រះองค์បានបង្កឡើង មានជីវិតឡើងវិញឬ? ដូចព្រះឥន្ទ្រាធ្វើឲ្យព្រៃរស់ឡើងវិញដោយពពកនាំទឹកភ្លៀង។

This verse shows the gopīs describing their viraha (separation) as burning grief, and expressing that only Krishna’s return and personal presence can revive their lives—like rain revives a dried forest.
“Dāśārha” is an epithet for Krishna as a descendant of the Daśārha/Yadu line; the gopīs invoke Him by a royal lineage-name while longing for the same Krishna who once lived intimately among them in Vraja.
It encourages a devotee to turn pain of distance into intensified remembrance—seeking revival through Krishna’s presence via sincere nāma-japa, hearing Bhāgavatam, and steady longing rather than distraction.
