Künstlerische Illustration der Geschichte

When the parrot fell silent, Radha took up Her vallaki vina. She held the stringed instrument in Her hands. Krishna held His hamsika flute. Radha and Krishna began singing and playing. Each seemed intent on surpassing the other in musical skill.

The poem relates that Their music changed water into stone. Under the same sounds, stone became water. The account then turns to the sages in Satyaloka. Their hearts were absorbed in contemplation of nonduality. Yet even those hearts melted with the music and flowed down toward the earth.

After some time, Radha and Krishna entered a dwelling adorned with jewels. They sat there joyfully. The maidservants skillfully made flower sashes, earrings, necklaces, and crowns. They prepared a flower bed and canopy. They also made an entire cottage of flowers for Radha and Krishna.

From flowers they fashioned different vines and trees. Their creations also included figures of deer and birds. As Radha and Krishna sat, the maidservants offered Them tasty forest fruits. They also served roots gathered from the forest. Betel leaves accompanied these offerings.
