The Descent of Radha-Krishna to Golak Dham Brindaban.
Thirteenth Chapter
RADHA’S WARM RECEPTION TO NARD
Radhika, in her natural, relaxed deportment, and with poise and balance, led Nard with other gopis to the Temple, where he was received with incense, flame, chandon, rice, sesame, and flowers. There, he had a sumptuous repast. Radha then sent Nard to a quiet place for a lie-down on a soft and comfortable bed. Nard was exalted at the service provided. He went to relax and spent some time chanting Hari’s name.
Meanwhile, all the milkmaids who saw Nard prostrate in front of Radhika, offering his homage with tears in his eyes, came to realise that Radha was indeed the Ishwar (God). They all bowed to her with folded palms in devoted veneration.
They dedicated their hearts and souls to her and felt blessed. They begged to be her adherents in all their births. Radhika observed them with kindness at her heart and then with another illusionary glance (Maya), made them forget all about it.
Jatila came running. Kutila also arrived, having been informed by Radha. They genuflexed and bowed to the rishi, with their heads touching his feet. Nard gave them blessings. He told Jatila that he was coming to see her as he needed to be fed many things, such as rice pudding, yogurt, and cheese.
