Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 58

śrī-baladeva uvāca
vadhvaḥ sahaja-tatratya-
dainya-vārtā-kathā-parān
asmān vañcayato bhrātur
idaṁ kapaṭa-pāṭavamTRANSLATION
Śrī Baladeva said: Dear ladies, all this is nothing but My brother’s clever deception. We are intent upon speaking about the misery of the residents of Vraja — misery all too real — and He is simply cheating us.
