Sri Uddhav concluded by saying, “O my Master! When the other queens heard Rukmini Devi, they nodded in agreement; however, Satyabh\u00e2m\u00e2 Devi could not tolerate it and has entered the m\u00e2n<\/em>-room<\/span>[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.\u201d This made Srimad Gopijana-vallabh<\/span>[2]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> fly into a temper; He immediately commanded, “Bring that extremely foolish daughter of Satr\u00e2jit at once!\u201d Now Satyabh\u00e2m\u00e2 was shrewd, and when she heard Sri Krishna\u2019s order from the maid servants, she was embarrassed. She got up from the floor, dusted herself up and rushed to the Lord. She was scared and ashamed that she had gone into m\u00e2n<\/em> in such an inappropriate time, so she hid herself behind a pillar. Nevertheless her perfume announced her arrival and Sri Bhagav\u00e2n spoke out in anger \u2013 “You stupid daughter of Satr\u00e2jit! You narrow-minded woman! It was alright when Rukmini had got the P\u00e2rij\u00e2t flower and you had gone into m\u00e2n<\/em>; but now how dare you go into m\u00e2n<\/em> upon seeing my topmost love for the Brijw\u00e2sis<\/em>? You foolish woman! Don\u2019t you know I am under the control of the Brijw\u00e2sis<\/em>? If forsaking all of you will make the Brijw\u00e2sis<\/em> happy, then I promise you that I shall abandon you forthright. This is the truth and nothing but the truth!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(Commentary \u2013 We have already learnt that we have only one means to subjugate Sri Krishna, and that is to love Him purely, without a whiff of sefish desire and without an inkling of aishwarya-gy\u00e2n<\/em><\/span><\/span>[3]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Although the residents of Mathur\u00e2 and Dw\u00e2rak\u00e2 love Him, their love is tainted with aishwarya-gy\u00e2n<\/em>, and at times even contaminated with the desire for self-satisfaction or pleasure. However, the prem<\/em> of the Gopis is completely devoid of the desire for sense grantification and without a scent of aishwarya-gy\u00e2n<\/em>. Their love is crystal clear and sweet. It is extraordinary. The Vraja-beauties\u2019 love is self-dependent<\/span>[4]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, self-sufficient, passionate and is unrivalled in the realm of bh\u00e2v<\/em>. Sri Krishna has unlimited desires arising in His heart. The Gopis have the natural abilities to fulfil those desires. Their bodies are made up of such bh\u00e2v<\/em><\/span><\/span>[5]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> that satisfy Sri Krishna. This indicates that their sub-conscious mind, consciousness, body, senses and everything else is made up of the ingredients that satisfy Sri Krishna. Their extraordinary prem<\/em> has conferred on them this exceptional status.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
