Translation

" 'My dear friend kurarī, it is now night, and Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is sleeping. You yourself are not asleep or resting but are lamenting. Should I presume that you, like us, are affected by the smiling, liberal, playful glances of the lotus-eyed Kṛṣṇa? If so, your heart is deeply pierced. Is that why you are showing these signs of sleepless lamentation?'

Purport

This is a quotation from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.90.15). Although the queens were with Kṛṣṇa, they were still thinking of losing His company.
