Description of the fortunes of the Pulinda-Kanyarupini gopis

Now I describe the women of the Pulinda (Kol-Bheel) caste who were received by the Gopi-Bhava, says Srinardji. This narration is kidnapping of all sins, virtuous, wonderful, and uplifting to devotion. 1.

The forest of Vindhyachal was inhabited by a few Pulindas (Kol-Bheels). They were fierce warriors and only looted the king's wealth. Nothing that belonged to the poor was ever touched. The mighty king of the Vindhyas, in a fit of rage, laid siege to all those palanquins with two Axis armies. They also battled the royal troops with swords, spears, spears, spears, spears, powers, spears, daggers and arrows for many days. (Seeing no hope of victory) he sent a letter to King Kansa of the Yadavas for help. Then, on the orders of Kansaki, the mighty demon Paralabha came there. His body was two yojanas high. The color of the body was black, similar to the darkening of the clouds. Wearing a crown on his forehead and a kundal in his ears, he was adorned with garlands of giant serpents. He had a gold chain around his feet and a mace in his hands, resembling a giant kalaka. His tongue was sticky and his form was terrible. He would uproot rocks and big trees and throw mountains at the enemy. Frightened and defeated, the Vindhya king left the battlefield with an army as if the elephant had fled after seeing the lion, as if shaking the earth with the threat of his feet. Prahlabha then took all the Pulindos and returned to Mathurapuri. 2-9 | (Madhurikand Chapter 6 to 11)

They all became servants of Pulinda Kansaka. Oh dear God! They all lived on Kamagiri with their families. In their homes, by the exquisite boon of Lord Rama, those polished women appeared as divine daughters, worshipped and admired like the embodiment of Lakshmi. The sight of Lord Krishna awakened in his heart the pain of love. The brides-to-be were captivated by love and were immersed day and night in their meditation and contemplation, wearing the Lord's graceful crown on their heads. She too came to Rasa by the grace of the Lord and attained eternity to the Almighty, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shri Krishna, the Lord of the Universe. Ahhh! It is the great fortune of these brides-to-be that they received the king of Sri Krishna Charanaravindaki, the raja most rare even to the gods. One who has a strong devotion to the supreme supreme foot of God - the lotus - desires neither the position of Brahma, nor the position of Mahendra, nor the position of a perpetual sovereign emperor, nor the dominion of the underworld, nor yogasiddhi, nor anuparvartva (liberation). The ultimate bliss is what the sage, a devotee of God's kinsman, who is attached to Hari-Kaara-Rajam, who is unyielding, devoid of the fruits of his deeds, consumes; what others call happiness is not truly absolute. 10-16 | (Madhurikand chapters 6 to 11)

Thus was completed the tenth chapter, Pulindi-Upakhyan, in the Narada Bahulashva-Samvad under Madhuryakanda in the Srigarghasamhita. 10.
