PURPORT

This is a song composed by Vidyapati.

Sometimes the word madhava is misunderstood to refer to Madhavendra Puri.

Advaita Acarya was a disciple of Madhavendra Puri, and consequently some people think that He was referring to Madhavendra Puri by using the word madhava.

But actually this is not the fact.

This song was composed to commemorate the separation of Krsna from Radharani during Krsna’s absence in Mathura.

It is thought that this song was sung by Srimati Radharani when Krsna returned.

It is technically called Mathura-viraha.
