tad-dāsyam addhopagatā nava-priyaḥ

na — does not; nanda-sūnuḥ — the son of Nanda Mahārāja; kṣaṇa — in a moment; bhaṅga — the breaking; sauhṛdaḥ — of whose friendship; samīkṣate — look upon; naḥ — us; sva — by Him; kṛta — made; āturāḥ — under His control; bata — alas; vihāya — giving up; gehān — our homes; sva-janān — relatives; sutān — children; patīn — husbands; tat — to Him; dāsyam — servitude; addhā — directly; upagatāḥ — who have taken up; nava — ever new; priyaḥ — whose lovers.

Alas, Nanda’s son, who breaks loving friendships in a second, will not even look directly at us. Forcibly brought under His control, we abandoned our homes, relatives, children and husbands just to serve Him, but He is always looking for new lovers.
