Meaning: SrI KrishNa! Why are you cross with me? Do you think I can stand this? What prevents you from showing me mercy? Should not the company of Lakshmi delight you and make you magnanimous? Do you seriously believe that this frail devotee will be a burden? Should I be penalized for trusting you implicitly? If you behave like this, feeling thwarted in your just demands, we will only blame you. Is this becoming of you? Is it consisting with your repute? The one devoid of worldly attachment! Enjoyer of RAga - Music! Bestower of the good effects of YAga, YOga, and BhOga! Recliner on serpent! Praised by GaruDa and TyAgarAja!
