Sri Madhavendra Puri:
ayi dina-dayardra natha he
mathura-natha kadavalokyase
hrdayam tvad-aloka-kataram
dayita bhramyati kim karomy aham

Srila Sridhar Dev Goswami Maharaj:
This verse was originally spoken by Srimati Radharani and afterwards became manifest in the poetry of Srila Madhavendra Puri, the first preceptor in the Madhva-sampradaya to introduce the conception of conjugal love (madhurya-rasa) as the zenith of transcendental exchange with the Supreme Absolute Reality. Because Krishna had gone to accept the kingdom of Mathura, in his seperation Sri Radha was very upset and expressed her emotions to Uddhava in this way: "O merciful master, Lord of Mathura! When shall I see you again? My heart has become overly agitated. Love, without you what shall I do now?"
Chaitanya Charitamrta Madhya 4.197)
