Parikshit Mah\u00e2r\u00e2j said\u2014”Dear mother! In this manner the entire Y\u00e2dav family started crying. Within a moment all universe became full of their heart-wrenching wails. There was none in Dw\u00e2rak\u00e2 who could console them (since all were in the same sorrowful state). Therefore, the four-headed Brahm\u00e2 arrived there along with his family that comprised of the Vedas<\/em> and the Pur\u00e2ns<\/em>. The devat\u00e2s<\/em> too came there. Brahm\u00e2ji saw that is father Lord Mah\u00e2-N\u00e2r\u00e2yan had attained an extraordinary state of illusion. Seeing His Lordship pain for His dearest ones and about to express His most confidential sweet prem<\/em>, he lost self-control and wept for some time. When he had stolen the calves in Sri Vrind\u00e2ban he had experienced Sri Krishna\u2019s incomparably sweet leel\u00e2<\/em> with His dear associates. Now that lovely and brilliant picture revealed in his heart. He carefully controlled himself and started pondering on how to restore His Lordship to good health. Very soon, he got an idea. He looked at Garud who was overwhelmed with sorrow, and soothed him. Then he addressed him thus, “O Vainateya (son of Vinat\u00e2)! In the middle of the Dead Sea, on Mount Raivatak, Vishwakarm\u00e2 has built Nava-Vrind\u00e2ban. Further, he has decorated it with statues of Nanda, Yashoda, other Gopas and cattle. It resembles the original Vrind\u00e2ban in every aspect. You immediately carry Sri Krishna along with Baladev in this state itself, and take Them to that artificial Vrind\u00e2ban. Please be careful and fly slowly. Let only Rohini Devi go there; the otheres should remain here itself. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Garud understood Brahm\u00e2ji\u2019s plan; he placed Sri Krishna and Balar\u00e2m slowly on his back and carried Them to Mount Raivatak. Meanwhile, Baladev regained some poise. Brahm\u00e2ji consoled V\u00e2sudev and the other Gopas, and convinced them to return to their respective palaces. On reaching the artificial Vrindaban, which was decorated with statues of Gopas and Gopis, Garud slowly lowered Sri Nanada-nandan down on a soft bed. Devaki, the loving mother, Rukmini, Satyabh\u00e2m\u00e2, the other consorts and even Padm\u00e2vati were unable to abandon Sri Krishna in that piteous state; so they too arrived in Nava-Vrind\u00e2ban along with Uddhav. However, Brahm\u00e2ji implored them to stay out of sight. Therefore, they continued to watch Him from a distance. N\u00e2rad considered himself an apar\u00e2dhi<\/em>, since he had caused all this to happen. So he neither came here along with the devat\u00e2s<\/em>, nor did he go away long with the Y\u00e2dav men. Out of curiosity, he observed from the sky in an invisible state\u2014He so badly wanted to relish the sweet pastimes of the Lord. Garudji remained unobserved in the sky, and continued to serve the Lord by shading Him with his wings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a short while, Sri Balar\u00e2m recovered completely and understood Brahm\u00e2ji\u2019s idea \u2013 Sri Bhagav\u00e2n has fainted out of intense love-viraha<\/em> for the Brijw\u00e2sis<\/em>, and so there is no way to bring Him back other than to make Him experience the joy of uniting with them. He has fainted due to a particular type of prem<\/em>; therefore it is absolutely necessary to give Him the pleasure of meeting the same type of premik<\/em>. In this state it is impossible to carry Him to the real Vrind\u00e2ban, since if the Brijw\u00e2sis<\/em> see Him in this state, no one knows what will happen to them. Some catastrophe will fall on them, and in stead of the Lord gaining sense, He may undergo more severe attack. This is why Brahm\u00e2ji thought it was a good idea to take Him to the artificial Vrind\u00e2ban, since Vishwakarm\u00e2 had built nice statues of the Gopas and Goppis such as Nanda-Yashod\u00e2 out of gems and stones. They looked extremely real; also he had arranged the natural scenery just like Sri Vrind\u00e2ban, with the same trees and creepers. Brahm\u00e2ji wanted to bring Sri Krishna here along with Sri Baladev and Rohini, since they had been present with Him in Vrind\u00e2ban. He wished to relieve Him of His love-faint by drawing the picture of His very sweet pastimes in Brijdh\u00e2m. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as Sri Baladev got the idea, at first He wiped His face, and then He wiped the beautiful face of His younger brother. Then, He softly pushed a flute inside the belt, near His belly, and a cow-horn at His waist. He also put a stick (to manage the cows) and a garland of Kadamba flowers round His neck. He decorated Sri Krishna\u2019s crown with peacock-feathers and ear-rings with fresh gunja-seeds. In this manner, He decorated Sri Krishna in the garb of a woodlander with ingredients made by Vishwakarm\u00e2. Then He lifted Him forcefully from the bed and called Him loudly, “Dear Krishna! Dear brother! Get up, get up! Wake up! Look, Shrid\u00e2m and Your friends are waiting for You. Mother and father are not telling You anything out of love. Moreover just see, all these Gopik\u00e2s are gazing at Your sweet face and whispering in each other\u2019s ears. I am sure they are making fun of You.\u201d In this manner, Sri Baladev lovingly called Him many times. Ultimately He forcibly lifted Him and made Him sit. After a long time, Sri Krishna regained consciousness. He loked around in wonder and uttering \u2018Shiv\u2019 \u2018Shiv\u2019, He got up from the bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Krishna opened His beautiful eyes and gazed at His surrounding. Seeing His father Nanda Baba infront of Him, He smiled and shyly touched His feet. He saw that Mother Yashoda, who was standing next to his father, was gazing unblinkingly at Him with love. Seeing her, He laughed in joy and said, “Dear mother! Today morning I saw so many dreams. They were so real, as if I was awake. I saw that I had gone from here to Mathur\u00e2 and killed the wicked Kamsa. O mother! I saw as if I had built a grand city called Dw\u00e2rak\u00e2 on the sea shore. In fact I dreamt of so many things that it will take along time to narrate all of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Krishna saw that in spite of telling her about His dreams, His mother was still gazing at Him without blinking. He thought may be mother is worried since I had overslept. She is afraid of my ill-health. So Sri Bhagav\u00e2n consoled her by saying, “Ma, I saw such long dreams; so I could not wake up on time as I usually do.\u201d Then He told Baladev, “\u00c2rya[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>! If You do not consider it impossible to have such amazing dreams, then I shall narrate them to You in detail, when we go to the woods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
