The Descent of Radha-Krishna to Golak Dham Brindaban.
When ShreeDam saw Radha in that agitatedly emotional wallop, he grinned to the tips of his ears, which raised the hackles on Radha’s neck. Radha did not need logic to trump her emotions. Her lotus-like eyes turned red like copper. To the outside observer, the violent storm that was rising in her mind was invisible.
Radha alighted from the chariot in a huff. She marched straight up to where ShreeDam was standing. She spoke with thinly veiled exasperation while berating ShreeDam, “I have
something to say to you scoundrel, but I will cut to the chase to grease the skids. How dare
you, a rascal and dupe, stop me?
Radha ordered him in an authoritative phraseology, “Open the door, while I am asking you in a civil tone. I want to see how powerful Birja is. I also want to confront fraudster Shyam [another name of Krishna, meaning black].
I cannot wait to give him and Birja the comeuppance they deserve. They are all hypocrites. Radha bunched her fist and moved forward menacingly while challenging ShreeDam, that if he did not want to be insulted, it was better if he opened the door immediately.
But ShreeDam stood fast and did not open the gate. Instead, he thrashed his hoofed eyebrows but replied with due deference, “My lady, please wait for a moment. We are all devotees of Lord Krishna. It is our duty to obey him.”
