At that moment if Gobind Lâl had taken two steps back, had pushed open Bhramar's door and said, "Bhramar, I will come again," then all would have been well. Many times Gobind Lâl wished to do this, but, though wishing, he did not do it, he was ashamed to do it. He asked himself, "What is the hurry? When I am inclined I will return." He felt guilty towards Bhramar, and had not the courage to go back and see her. He could not bring himself to any resolution, so he went his way on the path he had entered. Forcibly driving away thought, he went outside, mounted his saddled steed, and whipped it up. As he proceeded on his way Rohini's many beauties sprang up in his heart.
