Kṛṣṇa Teases Rukmiṇī; Her Devotional Reply and the Lord’s Assurance
त्वं वै समस्तपुरुषार्थमय: फलात्मा यद्वाञ्छया सुमतयो विसृजन्ति कृत्स्नम् । तेषां विभो समुचितो भवत: समाज: पुंस: स्त्रियाश्च रतयो: सुखदु:खिनोर्न ॥ ३८ ॥
tvaṁ vai samasta-puruṣārtha-mayaḥ phalātmā yad-vāñchayā su-matayo visṛjanti kṛtsnam teṣāṁ vibho samucito bhavataḥ samājaḥ puṁsaḥ striyāś ca ratayoḥ sukha-duḥkhinor na
祢是人间一切目标的总成与精髓,且祢自身就是终极果报。为求得祢,智者舍弃其余一切。噢全能主,唯有他们堪受祢的亲近;并非沉溺于男女相欲所生的乐与苦者。
Here Queen Rukmiṇī refutes Lord Kṛṣṇa’s statement in text 15:
This verse declares that Kṛṣṇa Himself is the very fruit and essence of all puruṣārthas; the truly wise renounce everything to attain Him.
In her intimate dialogue with Kṛṣṇa, Rukmiṇī emphasizes that His closeness is rightly meant for those devoted to Him, affirming that He is the supreme treasure sought by saints and renunciants.
Treat both comfort and difficulty as occasions to remember and serve Kṛṣṇa, seeking His association through prayer, chanting, and steady commitment rather than changing faith with changing circumstances.
