Krishna arrived at Siddhashrama with His queens. The gopis saw Him and joyfully offered praise. Radha approached with Her palms joined. She walked reverently around Him. Tears of joy flowed from Her eyes. She offered Him a radiant throne. Smiling, She began to speak to Him.
Precious stones adorned the throne. Among them were syamantaka and cintamani gems. Rubies shone in its middle. Parijata flowers decorated it. Above it stood a parasol from which nectar flowed. Radha said His arrival had fulfilled Her life and austerities. Her sacred bathing at Siddhashrama had also borne its fruit.
Radha spoke of the help He had given Her. She mentioned Kamsa, who had feared Him. She recalled His victory over Shankhachuda. She also mentioned the defeat of Indra's pride. Krishna had raised Govardhana and protected Vraja. She spoke of the gopis embracing Him in the rasa dance. She said His deeds resembled events in human life.
Chandranana drew Her attention to the queens. Radha approached them respectfully. She embraced Rukmini, Jambavati, Satyabhama and the other queens. She addressed them as Her sisters in devotion. One moon attracted many chakora birds. Many eyes looked upon one sun. Likewise, Krishna was one and His devotees were many.
Radha also spoke of recognizing His greatness. A bee understood the lotus. An expert recognized a jewel's worth. A learned person understood knowledge, and a poet understood poetry. In this way a devotee recognized Krishna's greatness. Rukmini praised Radha's love. He whom the three worlds glorified Himself spoke about Her.
Rukmini invited Radha to come with them. She brought Her to her own quarters. She prepared a golden couch with soft cushions for Her. The fragrance of lotus filled the place. The queens offered Her clothing, garlands and ornaments. They also honored the groups of gopis individually. After their conversation they returned to their own quarters.
Rukmini returned to Krishna. She found Him awake. She asked why He was not sleeping. He told her that Radha had been pleased with the welcome. But She usually drank milk before resting. That evening She had not yet drunk any and could not sleep. Because Radha was not sleeping, Krishna could not sleep either.
Rukmini went back to Radha with the other queens. She brought Her milk in a golden cup. The milk was hot and sweetened with sugar. She offered it to Her with great affection. Afterward they also offered Her a roll of betel. The queens returned to Krishna. Rukmini told Him what she had done and began serving His feet.
While gently massaging His feet, Rukmini noticed blisters on His soles. Astonished, she asked how they had appeared. Krishna answered before the assembled queens. His lotus feet rested in Radha's heart. Day and night they remained there, bound by Her devotion. They did not depart for even the briefest moment.
Radha had drunk milk that was far too hot. That, Krishna explained, had blistered His feet. The milk should have been only warm. Rukmini and the other queens heard His words. They rubbed His feet with love. Wonder filled them. Narada ended the account by praising Radha's incomparable love for Krishna.
