Uddhava Meets the Gopīs: Bhramara-gītā and Kṛṣṇa’s Message of Separation
अप्येष्यतीह दाशार्हस्तप्ता: स्वकृतया शुचा । सञ्जीवयन् नु नो गात्रैर्यथेन्द्रो वनमम्बुदै: ॥ ४४ ॥
apy eṣyatīha dāśārhas taptāḥ sva-kṛtayā śucā sañjīvayan nu no gātrair yathendro vanam ambudaiḥ
达沙尔哈的后裔圣奎师那会回到这里吗？他会以自身肢体的触碰，使我们这些被他亲自引起的悲苦所灼烧的人重获生机吗？正如因陀罗以载雨之云使森林复苏。
FAQs
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.
