Thus put to shame and made responseless by the beloved
May Hari protect you all.
 
This verse is written in the form of a dialogue with question
and answer between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. It is also a fine example of
pun on the words indicated below :
(a) hariḥ : means (i) Lord Kṛṣṇa, lover of the cowherd maid-
ens and (ii) a monkey,
(b) Kṛṣṇa : (i) an epithet of Hariḥ and (ii) black in complex-
ion,
(c) madhusūdana : (i) an epithet of Kṛṣṇa who slew the
demon Madhu and (ii) a bee that collects honey from

प्रौढोक्तिः Prauḍhoktiḥ : Quality Statement :
 
prauḍha means matured, dignified, qualified, ukti is expression, state-
ment etc. Rhetorically it is Prauḍhokti where some object basically
incapable of producing some kind of speciality is conceived as pro-
ducing such speciality. But Jagannātha's conception of this figure
is slightly different. His idea of Prauḍhokti is as follows:
 
In order to signify some sort of excellence in an object a state-
ment about its association with another object having the same
kind of excellence is made in such a statement which is figuratively
known as Prauḍhokti.
 
It is recognised by Jayadeva, Appayya, Jagannātha and a few
others.
