This Ashtapathi with the sloka is a dialogue between Radha and
her Sakhi. Both are moved during their conversation and hence tuned in
Punnagavarali raga in “Vilamba Kaal”.
Radha continued to express her anxious longing in the great
distress of separation. When Krishna did
not come, she concluded that this despondent faced messenger-girl (Duthe) must
be to be blamed. The sakhi told Radha, “My dear friend, I called him many times, but
he is so merciless that he did not come.”
The first half of this verse is a dialogue between Radha and her companion. Now, Radha has become
paranoid that her messenger who went to bring Krishna returned after making
love with him herself. Therefore Radha calls Krishna merciless, two-faced
cheater and so on. “What an uncouth rustic he is. He doesn’t even know the
difference between a heroine and a messenger girl!”
