    “Srimati R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni heard Sri Krishna\u2019s magical flute and was absorbed in suddipta-s\u00e2tvik-bh\u00e2v<\/em>. Sri Vish\u00e2kh\u00e2 and Vrind\u00e2 devi<\/em> are describing Her state at that moment to Govinda as follows \u2013 \u2018Dear M\u00e2dhav, A most amazing incident has occurred! When Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 heard the song of Your flute, She has entered such a state that the students have mistaken Her to be an idol of Goddess Saraswati and have started worshipping Her. (This indicates that Ishwari has become excessively stupefied and pale, since Goddess Saraswati is white in color). Aho! Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2 perspired so much that we felt as if it was the monsoon season<\/span>13<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>!
