The guest had heard Radha's words about love. She considered Their deep closeness with Krishna. But she wanted something more than an explanation. She wished to see a sign of Their mutual understanding. She asked Radha where Krishna was at that moment. Was He far away or somewhere nearby? Could He appear when She remembered Him? The guest made her request with curiosity. Radha listened carefully. The sakhis remained witnesses to the conversation.
The guest asked Her to remember Krishna. She did not ask Radha to leave the house. She did not ask Her to send a messenger to the forest. She wanted Radha to call Him in Her thoughts. Radha first answered with humility. She asked the friend not to make fun of Her. For Her, love was not a contest before others. Yet She listened to the sincere request. The guest waited hopefully for Her answer. A quiet moment settled over the room.
Radha offered a prayer to the sun god. She called upon him as a witness to truth. She wished Krishna to appear before Her friends. Their happiness was part of Her prayer. Then She closed Her eyes. She calmed Her senses and thoughts. In Her heart She pictured Her beloved Krishna. The outward conversation fell quiet for a moment. Lalita and the other friends were present. And the mysterious guest stood nearby.
While Radha meditated, a surprise occurred. Krishna gave up His feminine disguise. That was the secret of the heavenly guest. He had been present throughout the conversation. Now He showed His own form again. With a glance He signaled to the friends. Radha felt Him in Her meditation. Then She saw Him before Her as well. The unexpected meeting filled Her with feeling. Tears came to Her eyes.
When Radha recovered, She covered Her face with a veil. She was surprised and shy. Lalita turned toward playful Krishna. She asked how He had managed to come there unseen. She defended her friend with sharp words. Yet her clever remark was also part of the lila. Krishna did not abandon the play of words. He claimed that the guest had brought Him there. Thus He continued the joke after the revelation. The friends attended to each reply.
Radha wanted to see the heavenly maiden. Where had the friend who spoke with Her gone? Lalita answered with another playful remark. The guest was happy to have seen Them together. Krishna pretended that He too wanted to meet her. He asked for an answer about her disappearance. The sakhis continued the playful exchange. The One who had carried the secret stood before them. And the question about the guest remained part of the joke. Radha listened to His words and theirs.
Krishna also spoke of a magical mantra. He joked that He wished to learn it. Radha answered by mentioning His flute. Its sound attracts the friends as well. Krishna replied with another playful remark. Lalita directed the conversation toward the hidden guest. The friends pretended they needed to search for her. Each sentence revealed another side of the play. No one had to repeat the first secret directly. Laughter remained in their shared company.
Lalita invited the other sakhis to go with her. They said they would search for the vanished maiden. Radha and Krishna remained in Their world of love. The poem ends Their conversation with poetic images. The jewels of love are mentioned once again. The chest of the heart had opened through trust. Krishna had heard Radha's deepest words. Radha had seen Him after Her prayer and meditation. The friends helped make the meeting joyful. Their wit brought the lila to its close.
From the first silence to the final joke, the conversation passed through curiosity and doubts. The guest told of her concern for Radha. Radha answered with trust in Krishna. She also spoke of the gopis' love. The friends protected Their closeness. Meditation brought the turn in the story. Then the hidden Krishna revealed His form. Lalita continued the play with words. Joy returned to the company of Vraja.
This is the last of four connected retellings. It is inspired by Śrī Prema-sampuṭa. The guest asks for a sign of Radha and Krishna's closeness. Radha prays and meditates on Her beloved. Krishna leaves the form of the heavenly maiden. Lalita and the sakhis continue the talk with jokes. The friends then go to look for the guest. The work uses a chest and jewels as images of love. This is a literary retelling, not a literal translation. The four parts tell one connected lila.
