yāce' haṃ vaṃśa-dehaṃ na tu kulaja-vadhū-deham ādye hi kṛṣṇas
tṛṣṇag-bhāvena sajjan bahu-ruci viharan durlabhaḥ syāt paratra |
vaṃśī-bhāve cid-aṃśa-praśamana-vaśatā-vismṛtātmā yadi syāt
tena jñāyeya seyaṃ mama viraha-dutā dārutām āgateti || [sragdharā]

"I pray for the body of a bamboo reed, and not for the body of a bride born of noble family; for in the former Kṛṣṇa, / delighting with much passion, becomes attached with a thirsting heart, whereas elsewhere he is hard to attain. / If, in the state of being a flute, his mind were to forget itself under the influence of subduing the conscious portions [of being], / he might recognize: 'This is she, turned into wood, consumed by separation from me!'"
