I pay obeisance to the mass of Great Effulgence, I pay obeisance to the Protector of cows, I pay obeisance to the Protector of the world, I pay obeisance to the One Who lies close to Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s bosom, and I pay obeisance to the One Who lies on Ashesha.76.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

rila Kavir\u00e2j Gosw\u00e2mi says, Sri Krishna danced so swiftly during the R\u00e2s<\/em>\u2013dance that He embraced countless Gopis at the same time in one form only. He did not distance Himself from a single one of them for even a moment. In this state, His inconceivable radiance surged so high that it has overwhelmed everyone. When Sri Lil\u00e2shuk beheld Sri Krishna thus, he found himself incapable of describing Him. He was extremely amazed. He could only pay Him repeated obeisance in these two verses (76 and 77). <\/span>I pay obeisance<\/span> to That inconceivable mass of radiance. How is He? He lies on Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s payodhar-utsanga<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>close to Her bosom \u2013 always. This indicates it is natural for Him to be close to Her. He never goes away from Her even from a moment. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is R\u00e2seshwari[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. He arranges the R\u00e2s<\/em>-dance for Her alone. The remaining three hundred crores of Gopis are secondary and are present only to enhance the beauty of the R\u00e2s<\/em>–leel\u00e2.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

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

“r\u00e2dh\u00e2saha krid\u00e2-ras briddhir karon,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00e2r sob gopigon rasopakaran.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

t\u00e2nh\u00e2 bin\u00e2 sukh hetu nohe gopigon.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

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

Meaning \u2013 “Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is the heroine of the R\u00e2s<\/em>-dance. The other Gopis are ingredients (secondary) of ras<\/em>. R\u00e2dh\u00e2 is Sri Krishna\u2019s Beloved and the treasure of His life. In Her absence, the other Gopis can never give Him pleasure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 (Sri Chaitanya-Charit\u00e2mrita Adi.4.178)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

“R\u00e2dh\u00e2-bin\u00e2 R\u00e2s-krid\u00e2 n\u00e2hi bh\u00e2y chite<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Meaning \u2013 “In Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s absence, Sri Krishna does not enjoy the R\u00e2s<\/em>-dance.\u201d \u2013 (Sri Chaitanya-Charit\u00e2mrita Madhya.8.86)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

“In Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni\u2019s absence, three hundred crores of Gopis cannot give Him any pleasure, leave alone performing the R\u00e2s-dance. From this we can easily estimate Sri R\u00e2dhik\u00e2\u2019s importance and glory.\u201d \u2013 (C.C.)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Again, Sri Lil\u00e2shuk looked around and said, “Although He lies close to Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s bosom, He also lies close to all the Gopis\u2019 bosom. We may ask, “How is this possible in one body?\u201d The poet thought for a moment and answered \u2013”This is not surprising for Sri Krishna. Do you not remember how one Sri Krishna had expressed innumerable forms of Gop\u00e2l (Protector of the cow) and innumerable Four-armed forms (Lok-p\u00e2l<\/em><\/strong> – Protector of infinite universes) to Brahm\u00e2ji?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Later on, He had given darshan<\/em> in the cowherd form once again \u2013 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

“Brahm\u00e2 beheld Sri Krishna, Who is non-dual, immeasurable, inconceivable and the Supreme Brahman once more searching for the calves and His cowherd friends as before, holding curds and rice in one hand. The Lord was immersed in relishing His divine pastime as a cowherd boy in Sri Vrindavan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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

In \u2018Brahma-mohan-leela[2]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2019, Sri Brahm\u00e2 stole the calves and cowherd boys. When he returned to the earth, one year had passed. During this one year, Sri Krishna had assumed the forms of countless calves and boys, and had relished the love of their mothers. When Brahm\u00e2 saw Sri Krishna playing with the calves and His friends as before, he was astonished. He thought Sri Krishna must have found the kidnapped calves and boys. Therefore, he rushed back where he had kept them and saw that they were still there. This astounded him. In this way, Brahma was caught in his own illusion. As soon as he glanced at the calves and cowherd boys in Sri Vrindavan, he saw all of them in the four-armed form, with the complexion resembling that of fresh clouds, wearing golden yellow robes, holding the conch, discus, mace and lotus, with gem-studded crown and garland of wild flowers. All of Them displayed self-manifested intensely Supreme bliss. Even the accomplished gy\u00e2nis <\/em>cannot realize Him with their gy\u00e2n-yog.<\/em> Brahm\u00e2 was unable to bear the sight of so much opulence and such a myriad of effulgence. He almost fainted. Then Sri Krishna removed the covering of His Yogm\u00e2y\u00e2. It is then that Brahm\u00e2 saw Him searching alone for His lost calves and friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sri Krishna can display many forms while remaining one, and can express a single form while remaining in many forms \u2013 it is nothing surprising.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
