क्व ममावस्थितो भर्ता किं करोत्यथ कीदृशः ।
समीपं नय मां तस्य नैका शक्नोमि जीवितुम् ॥ ९ ॥

līlovāca |
kva mamāvasthito bhartā kiṃ karotyatha kīdṛśaḥ |
samīpaṃ naya māṃ tasya naikā śaknomi jīvitum || 9 ||

Lila answered said:—"Tell me goddess, where my husband resides at present, and what he has been doing now. Take me to his presence, as I am unable to bear the load of my life without him."
