Sripâd Bhatta Goswâmi has explained the verse in the following manner: How will it be if Sri Krishna always decides to remain a little distance away? Then how will Sri Lilâshuk fulfil His desire? Therefore, the great poet is begging the Lord of his life – please grant me Your sevâ. He is praying, “When will I arrange Your voluptuous hair with colourful peacock-feathers and flowers?”

The poet is so much overwhelmed with the ras of Divine love-sports that once he uttered ‘Vibhu’, he forgot the verbs. Maybe he did not want to upset the beauty of the verse by using too many verbs and it was not possible to pray for so many sevâs using a single verb. He remembered how the bumblebees, tempted by the fragrance of the lotus, hover around it. So he said, “When will I remove the rich glossy black curls (resembling the bumble-bees) falling on Your lotus-face (attracted by its fragrance)? Under the pretext of doing so, when will I hear Your sweet speech? Your large eyes are scintillating in the surge of the great ocean of all-exultant bliss – O when will I behold them? When will I hear Your soft words and take anurâg-filled darshan of Your loving vibrating lips playing on the flute? When will I behold Your sweet face replete with sweet gaze and sweet words? When will I experience Your naughtiness? So, let us leave the poet for the time being, praying in this manner, sighing deeply, with his heart full of hope. 61.
