PURPORT

This verse (Vidagdha-madhava 2.33) is written in the Prakrta language, not in Sanskrit.

When transformed into Sanskrit, it reads as follows:

dhrtva praticchanda-gunam sundara mama mandire tvam vasasi

tatha tatha runatsi balitam yatha yatha cakita palaye The meaning is the same, but the native language is different.

It was spoken by Madhumangala to Sri Krsna.
