Hiccups:
“O daughter! Are you worrying uselessly that something has happened to your dear friend Rādhā? Do not apply any medicine! Give up your this loud weeping! O beautiful-eyed girl! Today Rādhā, afflicted by the transformations brought on by love for Kṛṣṇa, is afflicted with hiccups while chanting His Holy Name incessantly.”
