हस्तमाक्षिप्य यातोऽसि बालकृष्ण किमद्भुतम्



हस्तमाक्षिप्य यातोऽसि बालकृष्ण किमद्भुतम्।
हृदयाद्यदि निर्यासि पौरुषं गणयामि ते॥
hastamākṣipya yāto'si bālakṛṣṇa kimadbhutam|
hṛdayādyadi niryāsi pauruṣaṁ gaṇayāmi te||
A devotee, perhaps a Gopika is telling the boy Krishna
You naughty boy Krishna, you have managed to slip away from my hands and run away. Anyone can do that. What is there to wonder about that.
I challenge you, can you manage to get out of my heart. If you can do that, I will accept that you are a really strong manly fellow.
Here, the devotee is so filled with love for Krishna that her heart is completely occupied by Krishna and Krishna alone. Even Krishna Himself cannot get away from there even if he tries to do that for ever and ever.
