  1. Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2\u2019s body is made up of m\u00e2dan-prem-ras<\/em>. Consequently She is wealthy due to prem-ras<\/em>. She has become anxious to take darshan <\/em>of Sri Krishna. Full of joy, She is going with Her sakhis<\/em> to meet Him. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When She reached the woods, the trees and creepers started dancing in bliss, as if the spring season had arrived. She saw the radiant dark Tam\u00e2l trees and passion overwhelmed Her. Darshan<\/em> of the woods of Vrind\u00e2ban made R\u00e2i suspicious. A thought struck Her. Surely the group-leaders (yutheshwaris)<\/em> too must be searching for Govinda. All of them are experts in this job. Why will they not manage to find Him? And Krishna \u2013 is He not greedy for love-sports? Once a woman gets Him, she will never let Him go. When Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 saw the golden creepers embracing the Tam\u00e2l trees, and they were dancing in the breeze, She became overcome with love-jealousy. As a result She lost Her power to discriminate. She flew into a terrible rage, raised Her beautiful eyebrows, and asked Dhanishth\u00e2, “What do I see, Dhanishth\u00e2?\u201d<\/p>\n

    Dhanishth\u00e2 \u2013 What did you see, now?\u201d<\/p>\n

    R\u00e2i \u2013 See in front \u2013 what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

    Dhanishth\u00e2 \u2013 All I can see is the forest.<\/p>\n

    R\u00e2i \u2013 You mean, you can\u2019t see what\u2019s going on right in front?<\/p>\n

    Dhanishth\u00e2 \u2013 I really see nothing other than the forest.<\/p>\n

    R\u00e2i \u2013 You cunning girl! Open your eyes wide and see, can you not see that King of frauds dancing right in front? O Lalit\u00e2! O Vish\u00e2kh\u00e2! Just see how that Cheat is dancing with His cheat of a girlfriend. And this Dhanishth\u00e2 is His supporter. She has become an expert in cheating as well. Consequently she has brought all of us here to make us members of this Fraud-King\u2019s parliament. Look there, Krishna\u2019s deer Suranga has left his wife, the doe Rangini, and is now enjoying with another doe. In spite of seeing me, he is continuing to behave in such a shameless manner. Krishna\u2019s cheating tendency has infected His deer as well! Krishna\u2019s peacock T\u00e2ndavik is so impudent! He has left his peahen, who is my pet, and is now love-making with some other peahen. He is seeing her, yet not leaving the second one. All His bad qualities have got transmitted into His pets too! This is but natural, since one rotten apple spoils the basket.<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    Dhanishth\u00e2 \u2013 (laughs and says) \u2013 Your picturization is remarkable, dear R\u00e2dhe! The sakhis<\/em> have never heard such a beautiful narration. They are most happy. Extreme love gives rise to such feelings. A passionate lover always fears that some evil will befall. Come, dear sakhis<\/em>, let\u2019s go to Shy\u00e2m and tell Him this drama; it will highly please Him.<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    R\u00e2i was surprised when She saw that the sakhis<\/em> were laughing at Her. Then She looked around once more, and saw that merely golden creepers were embracing the trees. She understood that intense prem <\/em>had confused Her so much. She hung Her head in shame. The sakhis <\/em>laughed and took Her to meet Sri Krishna, Who is the ocean of ras<\/em>. Thus our Ishwari is a treasure house of precious prem<\/em>. I know such Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 Who is prem-roop<\/em> \u2013 prem-rup\u00e2yai dheemahi<\/em>. (According to a poem by Sri Jadunandan Th\u00e2kur).<\/p>\n
