The Descent of Radha-Krishna to Golak Dham Brindaban.
Seventh Chapter
As Nard Muni was trotting merrily in the windy and dusty streets of Brindaban, he became very dumfounded. Everybody looked dejected and mirthless. Nobody was frisky or laughing. The melancholic sight of the residents of Brindaban made him depressed as well. He was not happy with Krishna. Me murmured to himself, “Oh Hari, why such a reckless abandon? My heart sinks. What kind of leela are you playing at? I, your devotee, find it rather devastating.”
“I am seeing for the first time the wanton aberration of life in Braj. Your negative disposition towards the people of Braj, had turned their life experience upside down. You are abominably wrong-footed in this. It is contrary to what the Vedas and Puranas describe you as merciful and graceful to humanity.
I dread to think what the state of your parents, Nand and Yashoda, would be, who, because of their love for you, have suffered so much by your departure. I hate to imagine that they are probably no more in this world. If they are still alive, I doubt I will be able to bring some joy to their hearts.
I am stupefied to delve into the minds and hearts of the gopis of Braj, who had been smitten with your love but had been unable to disclose openly. I cringe at the idea of seeing them. I am also swamped with an edgy feeling at the thought of meeting Shree Radha, the lovely daughter of Brishbhanu, who is Adya Shakti (Primal Energy). I fear, lest I dissolve into nothingness with a mere stare of her wrathful eyes and ruin everything I come for.”
