The Descent of Radha-Krishna to Golak Dham Brindaban.
NARD ENTERED MANI MANDIR
Krishna knew Nard was coming and he wanted to surprise Nard. He was seated, surrounded by Rukmini [Princess of Vidarbha. First wife and Chief queen (Patrani) of Dwarka], and sixteen hundred thousand and one hundred and eight ladies. Everyone was attending to him with love and care. And he imparted equal pleasure and kindness to each of them.
As Nard approached him, Shree Govinda got up, as he is the avatar in human form. Govind hurriedly walked over to receive him. To pay homage, Krishna washed Nard’s feet with water in the Aryan style [Krishna is indigenous, an Asura (Asura Krishna, mentioned in the Rig-Veda 8.96. 13-17]. Then he was seated comfortably in a luxurious place.
Speaking with humble and venerable words, Krishna himself attended to Nard, fanning him with a chamaram [Fluffy white fan used by Hindus while to fan gods during Puja. It is made of the white hair of Tibetan Yak]. Rukmani and other ladies bowed and touched the feet of the Muni with their foreheads.
Seeing all the profuse showering of attention, Nard was humorously delighted. Every lady to him, was similar to Lakshmi in their comely countenance, carriage, and posture. In a little while, the two leading ladies, Rukmani, and Satyabhama went away and came back with snacks and drinks for Nard.
