Experiencing previous attachment to Krsna (purva-raga), Srimati Radharani thought: “Since I have heard the name of a person called Krsna, I have practically lost My good sense.
Then, there is another person who plays His flute in such a way that after I hear the vibration, intense madness arises in My heart.
And again there is still another person to whom My mind becomes attached when I see His beautiful lightning effulgence in His picture.
Therefore I think that I am greatly condemned, for I have become simultaneously attached to three persons.
It would be better for Me to die because of this.”
