अहं कान्ता कान्तास्त्वमिति न तदानीं मतिरभू-
न्मनोवृत्तिर्लुप्ता त्वमहमिति नौ धीरपि हता ।
भवान्भर्ता भार्याहमिति यदिदानीं व्यवसिति-
स्तथापि प्राणानां स्थितिरिति विचित्रं किमपरम् ॥
ahaṁ kāntā kāntās tvam iti na tadānīṁ matir abhūn
mano-vṛttir luptā tvam aham iti nau dhīr api hatā |
bhavān bhartā bhāryāham iti yad idānīṁ vyavasitis
tathāpi prāṇānāṁ sthitir iti vicitraṁ kim aparam ||
(Caitanya-candrodaya-nāṭakam: 7.15)
[Rādhā speaks to Kṛṣṇa in Mathurā through a messenger:] “‘I am the female lover, and you are the male lover.’ I did not have this notion then [when you were here in Vraja]. This mentality was absent, and even our awareness of ‘you’ and ‘I’ was lost. Although we now [again] have the certainty that you are the man and I am the woman, still my prāṇas are present [in my body]. What is more astonishing than this?”
