2 - The cowherds Viraja turns to the form of river 

Narayana said-I shall narrate to you at whose prayer lord Krishna incarnated on earthy the deeds performed by him in the universe, the efforts made by him to relieve the earth of her burden, besides killing of the wicked people. 

The arrival of lord Krishna in the form of a cowherds in Goloka and the reason for incarnation Radha as cowherds, is going to narrated by me, you please listen to it. 

I had briefly spoken to you about the killing of Samkhachuda, I am now narrating the same story in considerable details. You please listen to it. 

Once the cowherd named Sridhama quarrelled with Radha as a result of which the latter had to be born as Samkhachuda on earth.

Sridhama also pronounced a curse on Radha to be born as a human being and to remain Vraja as a female roaming about in that place. 

Thereafter with the curse of Sridhama, Radha was afraid who spoke to Krishna, "O lord, I shall have to be born as cowherds because of the curse of Sridhama, you tell me the remedy for the same, because without you how can I be reborn." 

O lord, without you a moment will be spent by me like yugas. Even separation from you of the twinkling of an eye disturbed me immensely. I actually consume the nectar-like the full moon of the winter season representing your glory, day and night like the partridge bird. You are toy soul and my life though I move about with this body. Therefore, you happen to be my eye-sight, my eyes and the treasure of my life. 

I always adore you while sleeping or awake and always meditate upon your lotus-like feet. О lord, О virtuous one, I cannot remain alive even for a moment without serving you. 

On listening to the words of Radha, lord Krishna to convince her. He embraced his beloved and reassured her variously saying, О beautiful faced one, in the Varaha-kalpa. I shall walk on the surface of the earth and you will also be born with me at that time. 

О goddess, we shall be born in Vraja and roam about in the forest, you are dearer to me than my life therefore, why do you get afraid when I am there. 

Krishna, the lord of the universe; kept quiet after thus speaking. Because of this the lord of the universe went to Gokula. 

The lord who removes the fears of others, how could he be afraid of Kamsa? Displaying his illusory fears he went to Radha and for the fulfilment of this words the performed the divine dance with Radha and other cowherdesses. 

At the request of Brahma, lord Krishna incarnated on earth and relieved her of the burden and then went back too his abode. 

Narada said- Earlier you had mentioned about the dispute of Radha and Sridhama briefly but currently you speak out to me the same in detail.

Narayana said- Once lord Krishna was roaming about in the secluded place in Rasamandala of Goloka. 

Engrossed in the love sport with Radha, he was filled with illusion; that is why after performing of the love-sport, he left Radha and was engaged in the same play with a cowherds named Viraja. She happened to be as beautiful as Radha herself and lived in Vrundavana. 

She had a hundred crores of beautiful cowherdesses as female friends. She happened to be dearer to Krishna than his own life. She was seated on the gem-studded lion-throne and found lord Krishna approaching her, who looked at her face which was shining like the full moon of the winter season. 

She was smiling and casting side glance and was of tender age of sixteen, quite truthful, adorned in all the beautiful ornaments, wearing white garments. He was feeling emotion and passionate at the same time. Looking at her lord Krishna enjoyed conjugal pleasures with her on the flowery bed in the secluded orchard. 

She enraged Krishna who appeared beautiful like crores of gods of love and enjoyed his company variously getting ultimately fainted. The lord however remained with her in the gem studded mandapa. The female friends of Radhika looked at this performance of lord Krishna and reported the same to Radhika, On hearing the words of the female friends, Radhika was enraged and she started crying and her eyes were turned like the red lotus flowers. The great goddess then spoke to her female friends. In case you are telling me the truth then get along with me and show me the place, shall punish the cowherds together with lord Krishna appropriately. I shall see who protects them from my ray. 

О friend, you bring before me the cowherds and Krishna here who happens to be wicked from with in but as a smiling race, filled with poison but coated with nectar. A few people will not be able to bring him here therefore, let us move to the beautiful mandapa and protect him. 

On hearing the words of Radhika all the female friends get terrified thereafter all of them appeared before her with folded hands and meekly standing said to Radhika. 

The female friends said- we will show you no doubt Viraja and lord Krishna, On listening to their words, the beautiful Radha mounted the chariots with sixty three hundred million cowherdesses and departed from that place. The chariot was studded with the best of gems and was shining like crores of suns emitting the lustre. It was built with the best of jewels and had three crores of kalasas decorating it. It had lines of paintings and the banner and a lakh of wheels, it could move with great speed, looked quite charming and had crores of pillars studded with gems, various types of arts were displayed in the same. It was quite pleasant. It was studded with rubies and on the wheels there were artificial lions decorating. There were four lakhs of paintings including those of Chitraghanta and the other dolls, it had beautiful horses which looked like the paintings and the doors were studded with gems, besides several pleasure houses and the kalasas with shining peaks. There were several materials and cosmetics, the bed of gems, vases of jewels and the stools made of different types of gems and jewels.

There were several steps studded with rubies and shining like saffron and other gems including the artificial lotuses, from the astonishing type of forests, steps-wells besides the pitches made of gem. It was a hundred yojanas in height and was ten yojanas in width. 

It had crores of garlands of Parijata flowers besides other flowers like Jasmine, Champa, Nagakesara, Mallika, Malati and fragrant Madhavi besides kadamba. There were garlands of thousand pettaled lotus flowery, several orchards, stream, tanks and forest. It was the best of all the chariots and could move with the speed of the wind.

О sage, thus descending quickly from the chariot, Radha the beloved of lord Krishna, at once reached the gem studded mandapa. 

She saw there a beautiful gate-keeper surrounded by a lakh of cowherds and had a smiling face. He happened to be Sridhama, the best of the servants of Sri Krishna. He found Radha burning in anger and her eyes setting red like red-lotus flowers. She said to him, "O servant of a passionate lord, you remove yourself from this place to enable me to have a look at the beloved of your lord who is important then me." 

On hearing the words of Radhika, holding a cane in his hand, he prevented Radhika from entering the pleasure orchard. He stood there fearlessly. Thereafter, the female friends of Radhika forcibly removed the servant of Krishna from that place. At that point of time the lips of all the cowherdesses were fluttering. 

On hearing the of the cowherdesses and finding Radha in great anger, the lord disappears from the scene. Viraja too listened, to the enrage words of Radha and finding Krishna having been disappeared ended her life with the application of yogic practices. 

Thereafter her body was converted into a stream which flowed around Goloka. It was the crores of yojanas and width quite deep and in length it was ten times more. It possesses various gems and was quite beautiful.
