Sriyamunaji's descent from Golok and re-entry into Golokdham

Sannandji says - Nandraj! In Goloka, when Srihari ordered Yamunaji to go to the ground and the Yamuna, the best of the streams, set out to circumambulate Krishna, the Viraja and the Ganges, the two rivers originating from the Brahmadrava, came and merged into Yamunaji. This is why the Absolute Krishna (Yamuna) is known to people as the patroness of the Absolute Lord Krishna. Kalindi, the best of the streams, then exited the park gate with her great speed penetrating the velocity of emanation and touched the innumerable cosmic clusters and went to the Brahmadravam. Then, penetrating its long body of water with great speed, it entered the Brahmadravada-filled expanse at the head of the universe, which was broken by the finger of Mahanadi Srivaman's left leg, along with the Ganges, and from there, it passed through the Saridwara Yamuna Dhruva Mandala, the abode of Lord Vishnu in the Vaikuntha Mandala, and when it fell below the Brahma Mandala, it passed through hundreds of worlds of the gods, wandering in order from one to another. They then descended rapidly to the summit of Sumerugiri and broke off from the Ganges as the Yamuna began to move southward from Mount Meru, piercing the banks of large boulders with numerous rock cliffs. The Mahanadi Ganges moved to a snowy mountain, but the Krishna (the dark Yamuna) reached Kalinda - the summit. His name became 'Kalindi' because he went there and appeared from that mountain. Breaking through the cliffs of Kalindagiri, breaking the strong banks, and rolling across the land, Vegavathi Krishna Kalindi reached the Khandavavana (near Indraprastha or Delhi), sanctifying many lands. Yamunaji wanted to make the most perfect Lord Shri Krishna her husband, so she assumed the supreme divine body and began to meditate in the Khandwa forest. Lord Surya, the father of Yamuna, created a divine cave within the water, in which he still resides today. Fast forward from Khandwa forest, Kalindi reached near Sri Vrindavan and Mathura in the Brajmandal. Near Mahavana, the Siktamaya also flowed into Ramana Sthala. Upon arriving at Srigokul, the supreme beauty Yamunane (by the name of Vishakha Sakhi) formed a youth of gop-kushoris under her leadership and decided to take up residence there to join the Rasa of Srikrishnachandra. Afterward, as they began to pass through the Vraja, tears of love and admiration flowed westward, marveling at the separation of the Vraja land. 1-18 | (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 1 to 5)

Subsequently, the lands of Brajmandal bowed three times in their succession, and the Yamuna reached Prayag, the supreme pilgrimage, sanctifying many lands. There she met Gangaji and took him with her to Kshirsagar. At that time, the gods showered them with flowers and chanted victory slogans. Kalindanandini Krishna-varna Shriyamunane, the head of the river, reached the ocean and spoke to Sri Gangas in a loud voice. 19-21 |

The Ganges said, "Krishna! Blessed are you, for you are the purifier of the whole universe. You originated from the left wing of Lord Krishna. You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute. May there be one and only salutation by all the worlds. May the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shri Krishna, also be His disciple. So Krishna! You are excellent in every way. I bow to you, Krishna. You are also rare to all the tirthas and gods. It is difficult to see you even in Goloka. I will go to the auspicious underworld only by the command of Lord Shri Krishna. Although I am deeply troubled by your fear of separation, I am unable to walk with you at this time. I, too, will be with you in your youth in the almsgiving season. Oh dear! Forgive me if I have said anything that is offensive. . 25-29 |

Thus, by bowing to each other, the two rivers immediately went on their respective courses, says Sannandji. Suradhuni Gangaji went to Patal, sanctifying many worlds, and there went to Bhogavati-Van and became famous as' Bhogavati Ganga '. Their water is held by Lord Shankar and Sheshnag on their heads. . 30-31 |

Here Krishna, at his own speed, penetrated the Saptasagara-mandala and moved at an even faster pace, crossing the landmass of the seven islands. After reaching Suvarnamayi land, she went to Lokalok mountain. After penetrating the banks of its peaks and gundashalas (broken rocks), Kalindi leapt along the Fountain-Si stream to reach the summit of the Lokalok mountain. Then ascending from there, they reached the heavenly abode of the heavenly beings. She then proceeded through the cosmic sphere containing Sri Brahmadrava, who had conquered all the worlds of the Brahmaloka and had been humiliated by the footprint of Srihari. At that time, all the gods were showering flowers on him, offering obeisance. In this way, the Yamuna, the best of the rivers, was restored to the Golok Dham of Lord Krishna. This auspicious new character of the Kalindagirinandini Yamuna, if heard or recited on the ground floor, expands the excellent auspiciousness. If any man carries this character in his mind and reads it daily, he reaches his Paramapada - Golok Dham, described by Bhagwan Ki Nikunjalika. 32 - 37.

Thus was completed the third chapter, 'Narrative of the Arrival of Kalindi', in the Nanda-Sannanda-Samvad under the Srivrindavanakanda in the Srigarghasamhita. 3.
