Translation:
O lotus-eyed one, great souls like Lord Siva hanker to bathe in the dust of Your lotus feet and thereby destroy their ignorance. If I cannot obtain Your mercy, I shall simply give up my vital force, which will have become weak from the severe penances I will perform. Then, after hundreds of lifetimes of endeavor, I may obtain Your mercy.
Purport:
The divine Rukmini’s extraordinary dedication to Sri Krsna is possible only on the spiritual platform, not in the fragile world of mundane affection.
