The Descent of Radha-Krishna to Golak Dham Brindaban.
[Jamuna (Yamuna) is also known as Kalindi (black)].
[cf. Old Manipuri Kirtan song in archaic Bengali:
Braje bhabe Prem bhara,
Nayal kamal ansu bhara.
Suni Ganga sura dhani,
Kalindi Jamuna man me ashi.
In English, thinking about Braj his (Gouranga’s) heart was inundated with love; his eyes flooded with tears. Listening to the melodic sound of the Ganges brought him the memory of Kalindi Jamuna].
ShreeDam now faced-off against Radha. With reckless bravery he felt the onus was on him to rebuke Radhika. There was obvious amazement in his voice. His experience exuded both concentration and confidence. He began saying, “Radha, there is no call for you to sit a-moaning. You have become the supreme goddess of the world only because of Krishna. You sit there and pretend not to know him. Please do not forget, if Hari wishes, he can create millions of Radha in the blink of an eye.
Such is the timeless Bhagwan Shree Krishna, who, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, for ages, dedicated their heart and soul with austere spiritual passion, so that they may be able to serve him. Such is the Bhagwan Krishna. You cannot just speak to him without any rhyme or reason and without any decorum.
While the four Vedas are having difficulties in enunciating all his sobriquets, how can you, with a woman’s knowledge, pretend to understand him? Please be upstanding and pay obeisance at his feet and get yourself blessed for a fruitful life.”
