English translation

The meeting of Sri Radha and Sri Krishna at Siddhashrama; the reception of Sri Krishna's queens by inviting Sri Radha to their camp and the publication of his excellent Preetika by Sriharike.

Srinardji says - Rajan! The Gopangas were overjoyed when they saw Lord Krishna with the parrots and immediately started cheering. Sriradha suddenly stood up and, with folded hands, began to circumnavigate Srihariki, shedding tears of joy from her eyes. He gave a golden throne to Lord Krishna to sit on, with Syamantakamani attached to its sides. Chintamani shone in the background, while Padmaragami adorned the centre. The throne was covered with a crescent moon; adorned with Parijata flowers and adorned with the Amritavarsha umbrella. 1 - 4.

It was spherical like a circle. Kaustubha beads were attached to his pedestal. That throne kund gave him the throne and Sriradha said with a smiling face - 'Today my birth was successful, today my penance bore fruit. Dear Mr. You have come, and today my duty has been accomplished. I am blessed by the grace of Shri Siddhasram, which has brought me success in a wonderful way. I have never done your devotion either. You are the helper of the devotees. Oh God! You killed many demons on this earth to help me. You killed the conch shell that even Trilok Vijayi Kansa was afraid of at my behest. Green! It was because of your love for me that you showed the glory of heaven to the celestial body. Oh God! You forcibly broke Indra's neck and took the Govardhan mountain while protecting Vraja because of me. The gopis in Rasmandal embraced you enough, and you became subservient to them. Oh God! This character of yours is only a mockery of the human world. " 5-10 |

Srinardji says - Rajan! While saying this, Sriradhana, inspired by Chandrannaki, immediately looked at the queens of Krishna and respected them with great reverence. Sixteen thousand queens such as Rukmini, Jambavati, Satyabhama, Satya, Bhadra, Lakshmana, Kalindi, and Mitravinda hugged each other, and Rohini was also held in both arms by the loving Sri Radha with a joyous heart. 11-13 | (Dwarkand Chapter 16 to 22)

Sriradha said, "Sisters! Just as the moon is one, but there are many disciples who have affection for it, just as the sun is one, but there are many eyes that see him, just as Lord Krishna and Chandra are one, but in these we are many women who have devotion. Just as the illusion knows the effect of the lotus and the jeweller examines the effect of the jewel, just as the scholar knows the effect of learning and the poet knows the effect of poetry, just as the rasak knows the effect of the rasa even when there are thousands of human beings, in the same way, O princesses! The influence of Krishna on this earthly plane is truly known only by his devotee. 14-16 |

Srinardji says - Rajan! Hearing of Sriradha, Bhishmanandini Rukmini with her dreams at that time said Kamalalochana Sriradha. 17.

Srinardji says - Rajan! Having said this, the Aryans took Bhishmanandini Rukmini Kirtikumari Sriradha with great reverence to their camp with Mahatma Krishna. In a camp called Sarvatabhadra, which was fragrant with lotus saffron, Sati Rukmini, accompanied by her husband and wife, laid a soft bed like a Shirish-Pulap, pillow, cloth, garland, and ornaments on a golden bed, and ceremoniously worshipped them at night. Then the hundred youths of the Gopanganas also worshipped separately and the Krishna-priyas had many conversations with everyone. Then the queens gladly put Sriradha to sleep there in their respective camps. Reaching Krishna, Rukmini saw him sitting and awake. Then he asked Shri Krishna - 'Swami! Why don't you sleep? '. 20-24 |

The Lord said, "O Lord! You have worshipped Vrajeshwari Sriradha very well by receiving, humbly saying loving words, assuring, and she has been extremely pleased; but you have not paid attention to one thing. They drink the best milk before going to bed every day, but beautiful! Today, Sri Radha did not drink milk. Excellency! That is why there is no sleep in their eyes till now; and Bhishmanandini! That's why I couldn't sleep either. 25-27 |

Srinardji says - Rajan! Hearing this good news of her husband Devta, Rukmini took milk with her stepchildren and approached Sriradha with great reverence. Bhishmanandini fondly fed Sriradha by putting hot milk mixed with candy in a golden bowl. Thus, after performing the ritual puja, she offered betel leaves in his hands and returned to her camp with her wives, including Satyabhama. 28-30 |

Drawing close to Lord Krishna, Sri Rukmini, in her auspicious form, went straight to the service of Lord Krishna's feet, narrating the milk delivery and feeding service she performed. Rukmini, constantly nurturing the feet of Lord Krishna with her gentle Kar-Pallavas, marveled at the new blisters under her feet. He asked, "O Lord! How have the blisters developed at your feet? Oh my goodness! These have come up only today. I don't know what is the reason for it. Then Srihari asked Rukmini herself in front of sixteen thousand queens to publish the devotion of Sri Radha. 31-34 | (Dwarkand Chapter 16 to 22)

The Lord said, "My feet are always seated in the heart of Shri Radhya; bound by his love, he is constantly there, never separated even for a minute." Today you have fed them some more hot milk. The milk fell on my feet and made boils in them. You didn't give them some hot milk, you gave too hot milk. 35-36 |

Shrinaradji says - Nareshwar! Hearing Krishna's words, beauties like Rukmini started caressing his feet with great love and they were amazed on all sides. They said to each other, "Madhusudan Madhava's love for Sriradha is very high. There is no woman who can compare them. This Sriradha is a unique woman on this earth. " 37-38 |

Thus was completed the seventeenth chapter in the Srigarghasamhita, the Narada Bahulashva-samvada under the Dwarka Khanda, in the context of the Sri Radha Krishna-samagam at Siddhasrama, the 'Light of Sri Radha's Love'. 17.
