6 - Emergence of Sri Krishna and Radha from the mass of lustre 

Narayana said- Standing before the mass of lustre the gods offered their salutations and prayers and soon after that they found a human body inside the lustre which was having the complexion of the clouds filled with water, quite graceful, wearing a serene smile on the face. Immensely charming, blissful, the one who could attract all the three worlds, wearing makara kundalas in the ears gem-studded anklets worn over the lotus-like feet, pure like the fire and was clad in yellow garment, was adorned with best of ornaments studded with gems and rubles holding a flute, pleased all having the lips like the ripe wood-apples. 

He was looking at the gods delightfully and was anxious to do good to his devotees. He had a vast chest which looked like the doors of the box illumining everything. 

The best of kaustubha gem worn by him was illuminating the environment. The gods also found Radha with beautiful figure within the mass of lustre. She was looking with her side glance with a smile on her face towards his beloved. She had the line of teeth which could put even the jewels to shame. She was pleasantly smiling with grace! her eyes resembled the lotus flowers of winter season; her face had a glory before which the moon of the winter season of no consequence. She looked quite graceful, she had beautiful lips which could steal away the beauty of the flowers at noon. Her mouth was looking charming; she was adorned with the anklets which produced the dangling sound. 

She had beautiful nails which were shining like the gems. The soles of her feet were tainted with saffron and were emitting beautiful shine. She was wearing the waistband which was made of the best of gems and her pelvic region appeared quite graceful. She had the element of having been clad in the fine and valuable garment purified by fire. Her tinkling ornament was studded with the best of gems. She was also wearing the garland of gems besides the armlets and wristlets. The gem-studded kundalas worn in the ears added to her glory, she had also the par ornaments studded with gems adorning her ears.

Her nose resembled the beak of Garuda, and her nose was decorated with the pearls. In her curly hair, the garland of jasmine flowers were decorated. 

Her breasts were decorated with the rosaries of the best of diamonds. With the decoration of the garland of Parijata flowers, her costumes appeared more graceful. 

The fingers of her hands were decorated with the gem-studded finger rings, she also wore the best of the ornaments of the conches which were entwined in the silken cord. By interweaving the gem in the red silken cord, it appeared as if they had put themselves to shame. She was clad in spotless garments having the colour of the molten gold. Her body was looking quite charming. She appeared like a figure of elegance from the pelvic region. Because of the stiff breasts, the costume was folded. 

She was looking beautiful adorned with all the ornaments. All the gods felt surprised having a look at, the goddess. Thinking in their mind that they were successful in their mission, they started eulogising her. 

Brahma said- О lord, the black-wasps of my mind who always roam about around your lotus like feet and you bestow your devotion which should enable us to remove the sufferings emerging out of the riches of the universe and provide us; to remove the sufferings emerging out of the riches of the universe and provide us peace and your slavehood. 

Shiva said- My mind like the fish is floating in the ocean of the universe. Therefore, removing the condemned action of the destruction of the universe and relieving me from the same, you bestow the devotion of your lotus-like feet. 

Dharma said- О my lord, you bestow me a sharp sword which could destroy the fetters of worldly attractions and enjoy the company of your devotees. It happens to be the only way to serve at your feet. You bestow the devotion of your lotus-like feet in each one of my births. 

Thus, offering prayers, having their desires fulfilled, all the three of them stood before Krishna, the spouse of Radhika. 

On hearing the prayer of the gods, the compassionate lord Krishna with a smiling face spoke to them, the beneficial and truthful words.

Lord Krishna said- О gods, you are my people there is no doubt about it. Therefore, you come along and have your seats. Such of the people who has takes refuge with lord Shiva, it would not be proper to enquire about their welfare, is such you be rest assured at this place. How can you have any cause of worry when I am there. I pervade all the creatures, but I appear in person only after salutations. 

I am quite well-aware of the purpose of your arrival here. One gets the reward of good and bad deeds at the appropriate time. 

О God, the big or the small appears, according to the time. The trees blossom according to the time. 

At proper time they bear fruits and at proper time they have unripe fruits. The pleasure, pain, misery, wealth, grief, worries, good and bad appear before a person according to the result of his own deeds at suitable times. In fact, there is no one liked or hated in the universe. It happens according to time, that the unliked person is also liked. You have observed the conduct of the people like Manus and the kings. Bearing the results of their own deeds, all of them proceed to the heavenly abodes. The moment you have spent in the Goloka presently, during the same period on the earth seven manvantaras have elapsed, seven Indras have spent their times and currently the eighth Indras is in position. 

My wheel of time rotates always; therefore, even Indra, Manu and kings disappear according to the time. 

 At present only their glory, virtues, and the stories of their noble deeds are known on earth. Even now there are a number of kings who are wicked and denounce lord Hari. 

There had been several valorous kings on earth but all of them had ultimate to leave for the heavenly abode. 

The time Is present even at the moment. With my command the wind always blows, the fire burns and the sun emit the heat. 

О gods, the ailments appear in the bodies at my command, the death is influencing all the creatures and the clouds pour rain at my command. 

The Brahmanas are engaged in their respective duties, the ascetics are engaged in tapas, the Brahmarshis are engaged in search of Brahman and yogis are engaged in yogic practices.

All of them are engaged in their respective dharma getting panicky from me, but my devotees who destroy the karmas are quite free. 

0 gods, I am death for the death, the creator for the creator and destroyer of the destroyer, besides being the protector of the protector. 

Shiva became destroyer at my command that is why he is called Наrа. You are the creator of the universe being the cause of the universe and because you protect them you become the protector of dharma. 

I happen to be the lord of everyone, starting from Brahma to a straw. I bestow the reward of ones own deeds and uproots the deeds. 

Who can protect the creatures who are to be killed by me? Who could protect the creatures who are to be destroyed by me. 

I happen to be the creator, the preserver and the destroyer of everyone but I am unable to destroy the devotees who have achieved the eternal body. 

The devotees always remain engaged in the adoration of my feet. Therefore, they follow me and I always remain with them for their protection.

In the universe everything ms destroyed again and again, reemerging at the same time, but my devotees never get destroyed but remain quite hail and hearty and freely roam about in the universe. 

Therefore, all the intellectuals aspire for achieving my slavehood and they do not aspire for any other boon. Graceful are the person who aspire for my slave hood and other people are deprived of it. 

Thus, the birth, the death, the old age, ailment, fear and the torture of Yama are meant for other people and not for my devotees. 

Because my devotees are never involved in sinful ways and always engage themselves in noble deeds and as such I surely destroy the result of their deeds, I happen to be the life of the devotees who daily meditate upon me while I myself recite their name daily. The Sudarshana chakra with sixteenth spokes is very sharp and one-sixteenth of its lustre can destroy the entire universe, I don’t feel satisfied; by giving away the chakra for the protection of my devotees. Therefore, I myself remain with them always. 

I don’t feel stable in the Goloka or with Radha as much as I do by remaining with my devotees whenever they stay. 

Though Radha is dearer to me than my life and she dwells always on my chest. But you devotees are much dearer for me than Lakshmi. 

О lord of the gods, I lovingly accept the offerings made ray devotees with deep sense of devotion but whatever is given by a nonbeliever to me is not accepted me at all. Such offerings are consumed by Bali himself. 

The devotees do not care for their wives, sons and other members of the family and spend towards the time only in adoring me. Therefore, leaving you all, I always adore such of my devotees. 

That is why in case the wicked people trouble my devotees, Brahmanas, cows, yajnas and gods, they get destroyed like the straw which in the fire. Such people cannot be protected by anyone till I am there. 

Therefore, О gods, I shall incarnate on earth but all of you should return to your respective abodes. I shall incarnate on earth from my Goloka. Having been thus spoken to the gods, the lord of the universe, called for the cowherds and cowherdesses and talked to them appropriately according to the time.

 Не said, "О cowherds and cowherdesses listen to me, you go to Vraja on earth and О Radhika, you proceed to the abode of Vrushabhanu."

Vrushabhanu has a loving queen known as the chaste loving queen known as the chaste Kalavati who happened to be the daughter of Subala and was born out of the hamsa of Kamala, she was the mind born daughter of the manes and is considered to be quite graceful among the ladies. In earlier times she was born in Vraja with the curse of Durvasa. О lotus faced one, you go and take your birth in that house. Therefore, you go to Vraja of Nanda, I shall own you there from my childhood. 

О Radha, you are dearer to me than my life even and I am like the same to you. There has been no point of separation or difference between us. Both of us have one and the same form. 

O sage, on hearing this, Radhika getting infatuated with love kept on crying and started starring at the face of the lord with her eyes.

О cowherds and cowherdesses, you are also to be born on earth in the divine houses of the cowherds. 

In the meantime, all of them found a divine chariot there which was built with precious gems and studded with rubies. It had a lakh of white flywhisks, ten thousand mirrors, fine clothes, sanctified by fire, having thousands of pitchers built in gems, having large number of garlands of Parijata flowers and had a number of the best of courtiers. It was like gold, auspicious, possessing lustre and had the glory like hundreds of suns. 

In that a human being was seated having dark complexion, with charming appearance, holding shamkha, chakra, gada and padma. He wore yellow lower garments, kirita crown, kundalas and the long garland of forest flowers. His body was plastered with sandal-paste, aguru, kasturi and saffron. He had four arms and had a smiling face and was anxious to shower his grace on his devotees. He was adorned with all the ornaments studded with gems. 

To his left there appeared a fair complexioned goddess who was adorned with all the ornaments and was clad in the yellow lower garment. She had the face resembling the full moon of tie winter season, the eyes resembling the lotus flower of the winter season, the lips resembling the ripe wood-apple, wearing serene smile on her face and appeared quite elegant. 

She was holding vina a book and a flute in her hands. She was anxious to shower her grace over the devotees, she happens to be goddess Sarasvati, all intelligent one and the goddess of learnings. 

There was another goddess standing to her rights who was having the lustre resembling the crores of moons. Her complexion was like the molten gold. She had a smile on her face and looks quite charming. 

Her beautiful cheeks were illumining the lustre of the gems. She was adorned with the best of ornaments and valuable costumes. 

She was wearing gems which added to her glory. She wore anklets on her feet which produced dangling sound. She had a waistband tied around her waist with small bells dangling in it. The garland of Parijata flowers was falling on her breasts. 

Her hair was decorated with the garlands of jasmine flowers; her beautiful face was snatching away the beauty of the moon. 

Her forehead was decorated with the spots of kasturi and saffron, her eyes resembled the fully blown lotus flower of the winter season and the collyrium was applied to them. 

She was holding a lotus with thousand petals; she was casting a side-glance over Narayana who was looking at her. 

Surrounded by his wives and the courtiers, the lord descended at once from the chariot and reached the court of cowherds and cowherdesses. 

All the cowherds and cowherdesses welcomed the lord with folded hands while the sages recited the passages from Samaveda adoring him at the same time. 

Narayana after reaching that place, merged his body into the body of lord Krishna which surprised all those present there. 

In the meantime, descending from the chariot, lord Vishnu the preserver of the universe also descended from the chariot of gold. He had four arms and was decorated with the long garland of forest flowers. He was clad in yellow lower garment, graceful and wore serene smile on the face. 

He was adorned with several ornaments and had the lustre of hundreds of suns. О sage, looking at him all the people got up to welcomed him and meekly offered the prayer to him.

He also merged himself into the body of lord Krishna the spouse of Radhika. The sight further surprised all the people. 

After the merging of Vishnu, the dweller of Shveta-dvipa in the body of lord Krishna, a person named Samkarshana arrived there who had a fair complexion like the crystal gems. He had a thousand heads and the lustre of hundreds of suns. 

Finding Samkarshana having arrived there resembling the body of Vishnu, all the people offered prayer to him. He also arrived before lord Krishna, the spouse of Radhika an adored him.

О Narada, he bowed in reverence to the lord Krishna with all his thousand heads. Thereafter, both of us known as Nara and Narayana also reached there, I merged himself into the feet of lord Krishna, but Nara incarnated himself in the form of Arjuna. Thereafter, Brahma, Shiva, Sesha and Dharma stood side. 

In the meantime, all the gods sighted a divine chariot which was built with the best of gold and several types of the best of gems were studded in it. It had the best of jewels and precious stones, the clothes sanctified by fire white flywhisks and mirrors, having a number of kalashas built in gems, a large number of garlands of Parijata flowers and had a thousand wheels. It could move with the speed of the mind and was quite pleasant to look at. The lustre of the mid-day sun or the winter season was of no consequence before the same. It had a large number of rubies and diamonds shining in it. A large number of puppets, flowers, streams, forests, were adding to its astonishing grandeur. 

О sage, the chariot was far bigger than the chariot of the gods and the demons. It was built by Vis'hvakarma for the sake of lord Shiva. 

It was fifty yojanas in height, four yojanas in width and had a large number of pleasures houses, as beautiful as the damsels themselves.

The gods found Mulaprakruti in that chariot who was adorned with all the ornaments studded with gems and had the complexion resembling the molten gold and the lustre of the diamond. The goddess possessing great lustre had thousands of arms in which different types of attributes were held by her. She wore smile on her face and happened to be quite graceful to her devotees. She wore the best of the kundalas in the ear. She wore anklets which produced dangling sound and were quite beautiful. She had the waistband of gems decorating the middle part of a body. Her hands were adorned with wristlets and armlets made of the best of gems and a beautiful garland or Mandara flower was falling on her breasts, her pelvic region was well built and her breasts were well developed; her face resembled the full moon of the winter season. The collyrium was applied in her eyes which resembled the lotuses of the winter season. The sandal-paste, aguru, kasturi were painted in her body. Her lips resembled the lustre of the flowers which blossom during the mid-day; her teeth resembled the luster of gems; she was wearing the blossomed jasmine flowers in the hair and was losing quite graceful. 

She had the nose resembling the beak of Garuda and she wore the pearl in the nose, she was clad in beautiful garments were emitting lustre and were sanctified by fire. She was seated over the back of the lion with a pleasant mind together with her sons. She got down at once from the chariot and bowed before Sri Krishna. 

The goddess got herself seated together with her sons. Both Ganesha and Karthikeya bowed before eternal Krishna. 

Thereafter, she bowed in reverence to Shiva, Dharma, Ananta and Brahma. Looking at both the gods, all the gods welcomed her with sons. All the gods blessed them variously and making them sit besides the lord, they started conversing with them. All the gods took their seats in the court which surprised all the cowherds and cowherdesses. Thereafter, lord Krishna spoke to Lakshmi smilingly, "O eternal goddess, you go to the abode of king Bhishmaka which is filled with various types of gems and you be born there from the womb of Vaidarbhi. О chaste lady, I myself reaching the Kundina city shall accept your hand in marriage. 

All the goddesses got up looking at Parvati and they made her sit on the charming gem studded lion throne. 

О Brahmana, Parvati, Lakshmi and Sarasvati seated on the lion-throne started conversing with one anti others. 

The daughter of the cowherds talked to them quite gracefully. The cowherd decease also felt delighted taking their seats besides them. There after Krishna the lord of the universe said to Parvati, "O goddess you go to Vraja be born from your amsha in the house of Nanda. О goddess of great illusion, you can destroy the universes you be born from the womb of Yashoda from Nanda representing the image of welfare. 

I shall make you the goddess, who will be adored in every village. The people will adore you as the chief goddess in houses and in the forest with devotion everywhere; they will offer you the divine articles for consumption. 

О Shiva, as soon as you will touch the earth, my father will consecrate me in the labour room and he will take your in my place. 

At the sight of Kamsa, you will go back to Shiva and I after relieving the earth of her burden shall retreat to my abode. 

Thus, speaking the lord immediately spoke to Karttikeya, "O best of the gods you reach the earth from your amsha and he born as a son from the womb of Jambavati. All the gods should go to the earth and be born from their amsha on the land, I shall surely relieve the earth of her burden. Thus speaking, the lord of Radhika was seated on the lion-throne. Thereafter, the gods, goddesses and the cowherdesses also took their seats. In the meantime, Brahma stood before the lord with folded hands and started speaking to the lord of the universe in humble tone. 

Brahma said- О blissful one, you kindly listen to a request of mine. О lord you give me your command as to who would be lodged and where on earth? The lord always feeds his servants, protects them and redeems them also, such a servant is always called the devotes and he always obeys the command of the lord. You kindly tell me which one of the gods and goddesses would be born as which place on the earth and by which one of the rays of the gods or the goddess? In whose abode would they be born and what will be there names? On hearing the words of Brahma, the lord of the universe replied, "I am going to tell you appropriately the places were each one of them would be lodged." 

Sri Krishna said- Kamadeva would be born as he son of Rukmini, he would be married with Mayavati, the daughter of Shambrasura, who would be the reflection of Sati. You will be the: on born to her and will be known by the name of Aniruddha, Bharati would be born as the laughter of Banasura in Shonitapura. The lord of the universe would be born from the womb of Rohini, he would be known also with the name of Samkarshana because the foetus would be drawn from the womb of Devaki and transplanted in to the womb of Rohini by means of illusion. In the land of Bharata Kalindi, the laughter of Surya would be born out of the rays of the Ganga. With half of her amsha, Tulasi would be born as princess Laksmana. Savitri the mother of the Vedas would be born as the laughter of Nagnajit and would be known with the name of Satya. Vasundhara would be born as Satyabhama and Sarasvati would be born as Shaivya. Rohini would be born as the princess lamed Mitravinda, Sanjna the wife of Surya would be born as Ratnamala by her ray or Ratnamala of Jagatsvami. Sushia would be born if the amsha of Svaha besides nine other ladies including Rukmini. Durga would be born from half of her amsha as Jambavati. These would be the ten chief queens the names of whom are given by me. Parvati from half of her amsha would proceed to the house of Jambavan. This had been ordained by Shiva himself at Kailasa for Parvati. He had said., "O damsel, you provide your embrace to lord Vishnu who had arrived at Kailasa from Sveta-dvipa. If you do so at my command, you would not earn any sin. 

Brahma said- О lord of Radhika, in earlier times how did Shiva commanded Parvati to do so in favour of Vishnu the dweller of Sveta-dvipa. 

The lord said- In earlier times all the gods reached Kailasa to have a look at the child Ganesha. Vishnu also arrived from Sveta-dvipa. 

He was immensely pleased while looking at Ganesha and comfortably took his seat. At that point of time all the people present there had a glance of the face of lord Vishnu which could attract the entire universe, he was wearing kirita-crown, kundalas and clad in yellow garment. He was quite youthful, having dark complexion and his body was plastered with sandal-paste, kasthuri, aguru and saffron and he was adorned with gem-studded ornaments. He wore a smile over his face. 

He was seated on a gem-studded lion-throne and was surrounded by his courtiers. All the gods offered their salutations to him. Shiva also adored him performing puja. 

Looking at Vishnu, the mind and eyes of Parvati were filled with delight. At this Parvati felt shy and covered her face with a piece of cloth but she looked at the charming face of Vishnu again and again and covering her mouth with a piece of cloth, she then looked at Vishnu delightfully with a side-glance and wearing a smile on her face, she was engrossed in bliss and her hair of the body stood at end. 

In a moment she looked at Shiva having five faces and fair complexion, with three eyes, holding a trident, pattisa and looked more beautiful than the crores of the gods of love. Then in the next moment she had a look at Vishnu who was dark-complexioned having a single face, two eyes, four arms, clad in a pitambara and wearing a long garland of forest flower round his neck. Looking at him, she started thinking in her mind, "Brahma is one but he had created different types of figures". Thus, thinking the passion in the mind Parvati was aroused. 

She thought that in spite of the fact that Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, all the three of them had emerged from her amsha, in spite of that Vishnu happens to be the most superior and preserves sattvaguna in him. 

Looking at him Parvati felt emotional and she adored the lord with great devotion. 

But feelings of Durga were well understood by Shiva himself, who was the lord of world and living in the heart of all creature. 

Thereafter, Shiva called for Durga in a secluded place and spoke to her beneficial, truthful and uncontradictionable words. 

Shiva said- O daughter of the mountain, you listen to my request, you provide the conjugal pleasure to lord Vishnu, because myself, Brahma and Vishnu represent the everlasting Brahman. The god is without differentiation and the worldly pleasures create difference in the form. Prakruti happened to be the one for all. You happen to be mother in all the forms. You happen to be Sarasvati in the heart of Brahma, Lakshmi in the heart of Narayana and Durga in my heart. Therefore, О chaste lady, you listen to my divine words. On hearing the words of Shiva, Parvati the goddess of all them spoke.

Parvati said- O lord of the down-trodden, you are the ocean of mercy but why do you shower disgrace on me because I achieved you in the form of a husband after performing tapas for a long time. Therefore, О lord, you do not disown a slave like me. О Maheshvara, you never indulge in such in proper words with me. 

О Mahadeva, О Shiva, I shall obey your command but I shall serve Vishnu in another birth taking a new form. 

On hearing this Maheshvara kept quiet. Thereafter lord Shiva laughed aloud and provided protection to Parvati. О Brahman, in order to honour to the words of Shiva. Parvati would be born in the house of Jambavan in the name of chaste Jambavati. 

Brahma said- Why did, Parvati take a birth in a degraded race of bears, when there were many royal families on earth? 

Lord Krishna said- In the Tretayuga, at the time of incarnation of Rama, all the gods as had to appear on earth in various forms. Out of them, from the amsha of Himalaya, my servant named, Jambavan was also born, he enjoyed long life because of the boon of Rama. He was quite virtuous, possessed great prowess and had a strength of crores of lions. 

At that time Parvati having a Goloka of her father emerged on the earth. Now you listen to an earlier story in this connection for my mouth.

The amshas of all the gods would be born on earth and becoming princes participate in the war. 

From the amsha of Kamla, all the princesses were to be born to become my wife numbering sixteen thousand.

From his amsha Dharma would be born as Yudhishthira, Bhimsena would be born of the amsha of Vayu, Arjuna would be born as the amsha of Indra, while Nakul and Sahadeva would be born from the amsha of Ashvinikumara. The valorous Kama would be born from the amsha of Surya and while Yama would appear in the form of Vidura. 

Duryodhana would be born of the amsha of Kali, Shantanu would be born from the amsha of ocean, Ashvatthama would be born from the amsha of Shiva while Drona would be born of the amsha of the god of fire. The great warrior Dhrishtadyumna was born from the amsha of Hutashana while Abhimanyu was born of the amsha of the moon; Bhishma was born of the amsha of Vasu while Vasudeva was born of the amsha of Kashyapa. Devaki was born of the amsha of Diti, the cowherd Nanda was born from the amsha of Vasu and his wife Yashoda was also born from the amsha of Vasu.

From the amsha of Kamala, Draupadi emerged out of the fire altar; from the womb of Devaki, Subhadra was born from the amsha of Shatarupa.

Thus, in order to rid the earth from her burden all the gods and goddesses appeared on earth with their respective amshas. 

О Narada, thus speaking the lord kept quiet. On hearing these words, Brahma came back and took his seat. 

Narada, Sarasvati was lodged to the left of lord Krishna while Lakshmi stood to the right, all the gods were facing him besides Parvati. Radhika was enshrined in the heart of cowherds and cowherdesses. In the meantime, Vrajeshvari Radhika said to the lord. 

Radhika said- O lord, you kindly listen to a small servant like me. О lord my life is burning all the time and the mind is unstable. I am unable to separate from you even when close my eyes or even winking there for a moment, how shall I be able to move on to the earth alone without you? 

О lord of my life, tell me truthfully the period after which both of us would unite in Gokula. 

Without you a moment is like a yuga for me. Whom shall I look at on earth? Where shall I go? О lord of my life, with you I never bother about my mother, my father, my relatives, my brothers, my sister and even the son. 

О lord of illusion, in case you want to send me to the earth with your illusion, then you give me a solemn promise, О Madhusudana, let the black-wasps of my mind always roam about around your lotus-like feet to extract the money. Wherever and whenever I am born in any form, you would always own me and provide me your slave hood.

Even after descending on earth you as Krishna and myself as Radhika should never separate of forget each other. You kindly bestow the boon on me. О all-pervading one as the life follows the body and the shade also follows the same, therefore, both of us should be born together. This is the boon which I desire from you. 

О lord on arriving the earth, there should be no separation between us even for a while. You kindly grant this boon to me. 

О Hari, your body should remain alive with my life. The flute should be made of my body and your feet should be made by my mind. There are several people in the universe who adore each other but there is no other damsel equal to me in glory and prowess on earth. 

Who has created me from half of your body, there is therefore no difference between us and my mind always remains devoted to you? 

My mind, my soul and my life always remain devoted to you, similarly your mind, life and soul should always remain devoted to me. 

Therefore, even a moment's separation disturbs me. With the very hearing of the separation from you, me life gets disturbed. 

Thus speaking, in the assembly of gods, Radhika fell on the feet of the lord and started crying aloud.

Thereafter, lord Krishna took her in his lap and rinsed her face with a piece cloth. He then spoke soft beneficial, and truthful words consoling her at the same time.

Lord Krishna said- I am going to reveal before you the best of the divine yoga, which removes mental agony and is beyond the reach of the great yogis, you listen to me. 

О beautiful one, the entire universe has been divided between the one who takes the shelter and the place of shelter. In both of them, there could be no possibility of any difference from the one who takes refuge and the base of such refuge. 

The base of fruit is the flower and the base of the flower is the tender leaves, the base of the tender leaves or and the base of branches is the tree itself. 

Sprouting is the base of the tree which produces the life in the tree. The seeds are the base of sprouting and the base of the seed happens to the earth. The base of the earth is the Sesha and the base of Sesha is the tortoise, the base of tortoise is the wind and the base of wind is in me you happen to be my base, because I always remain in you. You happen to be the cluster of strength and also the great goddess known as Mulaprakruti. You appear in human form and are also the base of all the three gunas. I happen to be your soul and coming in contact with you I get activity. 

The semen emerges from the man and from the semen emerges the progeny and the woman happen to be the base of both of them representing Prakruti. 

There could be no soul without the body and without the soul there could be no body. О goddess though both of them have their own importance but the things of earth cannot move without both of them. 

О Radha, in the form of seeds there is no difference between both of us wherever there is the soul there is the body. Both of them cannot be separated from each other as the whiteness which is integral part of the milk, the power of burning is an integral part of fire, coolness is the integral part of the water; similar is the case with both of us. As the whiteness cannot be separated from the milk, the power of burning cannot be separated from the fire, the earth cannot be separated from fragrance, coolness cannot be separated from water and are integral part of each other, similar is the case with both of us. О beautiful one, you remain in active in my absence and without you, I also remain invisible. It is also sure that without you, I cannot indulge in any activity of the universe. 

As a potter cannot make a pitcher without the clay and the goldsmith cannot make any ornament without the gold, similarly I become helpless without you. 

As the soul is eternal, similarly you as Prakruti are also eternal. You are the base of all the strength and are everlasting. Lakshmi, Sarasvati, Parvati, Brahma, Shiva, Seshanaga and Dharma are all like my life but you are dearer to me then my life. О Radha, all these gods and goddesses live with me. Had you not been dearest to me than all of them, then how could you reside in my heart. 

Therefore, О Radha, you stop shedding tears and get yourself relieved of the illusion. Therefore, you go to the house of Vrushabhanu fearlessly. 

О beautiful one, reaching there you enter the womb of Kalavati and remain there for nine months, shedding your form you take to the form of Vishnu and then appear before the universe. At the time of birth, you emerge from the womb of Kalavati in the form of an infant without robes and start crying. 

О chaste lady, you appear in Gokula and having been born without any human contact. I shall also be born without human contact. It is not possible for both of us to remain in the womb. 

As soon as I incarnate on earth my father will carry me to Gokula because of the fear of Kamsa I shall surely go to Gokula for your sake. 

О virtuous one, you will meet me there in the house of Nanda where I shall the present in the form of the son of Nanda and you would also meet me there. 

О Radha, with my boon you will remember me at the proper time and I shall enjoy your company in the forest of Vrundavana. 

Therefore, О noble lady, you incarnate on earth with in Gokula with your thirty-three female friends and twenty-one hundred crores of cowherdesses. In Gokula you have an equal number of cowherds and you should assure them with your nectar like words in Gokula properly. 

О Radhika, I myself shall move on to Mathura keeping all my cowherd’s friends in Gokula. In Mathura I shall meet my father Vasudeva in his abode. 

All my dear cowherd friends will move along with me and go to Vraja and should be born in the houses of crores of Gopas there. 

О Narada, thus speaking lord Krishna kept quiet. Thereafter all the gods and goddesses besides the cowherds and cowherdesses also stayed there. 

Brahma, Shiva, Dharma, Parvati, Lakshmi and Sarasvati offered prayers to lord Krishna delightfully. 

Feeling grieved because of separation all the cowherds and cowherdesses started offering prayers to lord Krishna with their minds filled with devotion. 

Radha also adored her husband who was dearer to her than her own life and could fulfil the desirous of all. Lord Krishna then spoke to Radha who was feeling panicky because of the separation with her eyes filled with tears. She looked quite meek and was upset because of fear. Lord Krishna assured her with truthful words. 

Lord Krishna said- O great goddess, you are dearer to me than my life; therefore, you remain healthy, shedding all the fears. As you are so am I, therefore why should you feel afraid when I am there. 

Off-course, I am telling you something which is unpleasant, "We shall be separated from each other for a hundred years". О beautiful one, which could happen because of the curse of Sriram. During that period, I shall remain at Mathura. 

Living there I shall be relieving the earth of her burden and remove the fetters of my parents. I shall redeem the gardener, a tailor and hunch back lady. Destroying a Yavana, redeeming Mucukunda and constructing the city of Dvaraka, I shall, thereafter, attend the Rajasuya yajna of Yudhishthra. Marrying sixteen thousand princesses I shall destroy a hundred and ten enemy. Restoring Sudama my friend to a graceful position, burning the city of Varanasi, supporting Shiva defeating Banasura, forcibly removing the tree of Parijata and accomplishing all other tasks, I shall go on pilgrimage with you Thereafter, we will meet the great sages talk with the relatives, completing the yajna of my father then I shall meet time you in an auspicious and all the cowherdesses. 

Thereafter, I shall bestow the divine am truthful knowledge to you and shall keep you always with me. Thereafter you will always remain with me and shall never get separated, shall return to Vraja with you thereafter. О dean one, during the time of separation of a hundred years from you, both of us will always meet ii the dream daily. Getting separated from you am reaching Dvaraka all the important tasks will be performed by me from the amsha of Narayan; during all these hundred years. This is certain Thereafter; we shall again engage ourselves ii the divine dance at Vrundavana. 

Thereafter, relieving the parents and the cowherdess of their grief and removing the burden of the earth, accompanied with you am the cowherdesses, I shall come back again to the Goloka. О Radha, the amshas of Narayana in m shall accompanied with Lakshmi and Sarasvati to Vaikuntha and Vishnu and Dharma getting separated from my amsha shall revered to Sveta dvipa. 

Such of the gods and goddesses who had emerged from amshas from the gods would also revert to their respective abodes. Thereafter we shall all remain in the Goloka. 

О damsel, I have now narrated to you all the future pleasant the unpleasant happenings and whatever I have told you can never be otherwise. 

Thus, speaking lord Krishna embraced Radha and all the gods and their spouses were surprised at this. 

Thereafter Sri Hari spoke to the gods and goddesses, "You go to your respective place for the accomplishment for the future task." О Parvati, you go back to Kailasa with your husband and both the sons. Whatever have I spoken about the accomplishment of the tasks; it would surely happen. 

O goddess of Vraja, excepting Ganesha, all the gods and goddesses from their amshas should appear on earth. 

Thereafter all the gods delightfully bowed in reverence to lord Krishna and Sarasvati with devotion and went back to their respective abodes. Whatever tasks had been prescribed by the lord were to be established by them and for that purpose they emerged on the earth. Because the place prescribed by the lord was inaccessible even to the gods. 

Then Sri Krishna spoke to Radha first of all you go to the house of Vrushabhanu, together with the cowherds and cowherdesses. О dear one, I am also appearing in the house of Vasudeva; thereafter I shall reach you in Gokula on the pretext on the fear from the Kamsa. 

Thereafter Radha having the eyes like red lotus become anxious bitterly before him. 

She walked slowly for some distance and again come back and stood before the lord. She enjoyed looking at the moon. 

Thereafter the goddess Radhika went around the lord seven times and ultimately stood before Hari. 

At that point of time seventy-three crores of cowherdesses and a crore of cowherds arrived here. 

О Narada, Radha again stood before the lord with the cowherds and cowherdesses and then stared at him. On the arrival on the thirty-three female friends of Radhika, she bowed in reverence to the lord and then moved on accompanied with cowherd and cowherdesses. 

They arrived in Gokula of Nanda. Radha appeared in the house of Vrushabhanu and the cowherdesses appeared in the houses of other cowherds. 

Thus, Radha descended on earth together with cowherds and cowherdesses. The cowherds also got ready to reach the houses of other cowherds. 

Thus, speaking to the cowherds and cowherdesses and deputing them variously, the lord of the universe incarnated in Mathura. 

Kamsa had killed all the six children born of Devaki one by one. 

At the command of the lord Yogamaya extracted the foetus from the womb of Devaki which happen to be that of Seshanaga Ananta and carried the same to Gokula transplanting in the womb of Rohini.
