PURPORT

This verse (Vidagdha-mādhava 2.33) is written in the Prakrit language, not in Sanskrit. When transformed into Sanskrit, it reads as follows:

dhṛtvā praticchanda-guṇaḿ sundara mama mandire tvaḿ vasasi

tathā tathā ruṇatsi balitaḿ yathā yathā cakitā palāye

The meaning is the same, but the native language is different. It was spoken to Kṛṣṇa by Madhumańgala as he read Him a letter from Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.
