Night after Night

Night after night Krsna, disguised in various ways, would meet with Radha, who was anguished in separation from Him, and converse with Her, chasing away Her feelings of separation. Some examples of these pastimes are described below.

Seeing Krsna described as a girl who is a physician, 

Radha said: "0 friend, You are a dark-limbed physician. Please cure the flames of anguish that burn in My heart."

Krsna-in-disguise took the pulse at Radha's hand. Then He proceeded to touch Radha's limbs, one after the other.

Finally Radha protested, "Stop. Why do You touch Me again and again"

To Krsna disguised as a girl flute-player, 

Radha said, "You are a dark-limbed flute-playing girl. Your home is far away. Not one fo Your friends lives nearby. The night has half passed. You may sleep on My bed." .

When Krsna came disguised as a poetess, 

Radha said, This dark girl is a peerless poetess. She is very learned. How does She know so many secret truths about Me, secret truths I did not even know Myself"

When Krsna came as a girl artist, 

Radha said, "0 gopi-friend, this dark girl is an artist. In a secluded place She showed Me a colorful picture of a girl just like Me standing next to a peerlessly handsome boy."

When Krsna came as a girl betelnut-merchant, 

Radha said, "0 gopi-friend, this secret I tell to you: In some past life this girl was someone extraordinary. She was not just a betelnut-seller. This girl knows mantras to bring others under Her spell."

When Krsna came disguised as a florist girl, 

Radha said, "This dark florist girl has spread out many garlands for sale. Why does Her dark form fill Me with amorous desires"

When Krsna came disguised as a fruit-merchant girl, 

Radha said, "This dark fruit-merchant girl has sprerad out many different fruits for sale. But why, amongst them all, does She look only at the bilva fruits

Translator's note: The bilva fruit's shape reminds Krsna of Radha's breasts.

When Krsna came disguised as a girl thief, 

Radha said, "This dark girl is not honest. Unseen by others, She has switched Her necklace for one more valuable. Now She yearns to steal that pearl-necklace."

When Krsna came disguised as a perfume-merchant girl, 

Radha said, "0 gopifriend, I purchase the aguru from this perfume-merchant girl. Aha! When making their purchase, My elder relatives will not say the words krsna (aguru) or akrsna (white sandalwood)."

The following are conversationas that hint at Krsna's Srivatsa mark.

Disguised as a seamstress, 

Krsna says, "I feel great affection for You. I am very expert at sewing. 0 gopi-friend, look at the graceful bodice that rests on My chest."

Disguised as a cloth-dyer girl, 

Krsna says, "I am a cloth-dyer girl. My name is Syama. I am famous in all the world. My colorful garments are like a lotus flower blossoming over My chest."

Disguised as a mirror-merchant girl, 

Krsna says, I come selling mirrors, karmukas, coral, and pearls. 0 girl of Vraja, if You ask, in private I will show You My two jewelry cases."

Disguised as a masseuse, 

Krsna says, "I am a slender and beautiful girl expert at giving massages. I wish to serve You.
0 glorious girl, My slightest touch brings happiness that defeats the happiness of Brahman."

Approaching Krsna, who was disguised as a bracelet-marchant girl, 

the gopis thought, "Never have we met a girl, gentle or harsh, like this girl." . When, during a dark-fortnight, the people of Vraja went to Ambikavcana, Krsna manifested many charming forms. Before each gopi He appeared in the particular handsome form that gopi wished to see. If someone says Krsna's vraja-gopi-beloveds are like bumblebees flying along the pathways of the lotus flowers of Krsna's heart, then we doubt that statement is true. We say it is Radha alone who stays in the lotus flower of Krsna's heart.

Here the final conclusion is given: 0 Radha, handsome Krsna, who killed Bakasura and ended Vidyadhara Sudarsana's curse, loves You more than any other girl.
