(Vṛndā enters.)

Vṛndā: (looking at the sky) Night's husband, the moon, has become dim, and now desires to rest on the western horizon. The planet Jupiter has faded, and his friends, the stars, are becoming faint and are beginning to dissappear. Night is now destined to end.

(walking about) Now that night is turning (into day) a loud sound rises from the churning of yogurt (into butter). This sound must penetrate within the inner rooms in the demigod's cities and remind them of the festive churning of the milk-ocean.

(looking to her side, and smiling) Her head bent down, and loosened hair fallen over her shoulders, Pālī anxiously stops in the dense darkness (just before daybreak), and moves her trembling eyes in all directions.

(Looking in another direction, she becomes struck with wonder and says:) Śyāmalā now goes to Gokula. On her hips she wears a silk garment that is the best friend of Lord Kṛṣṇa's lotus navel. On her breasts is a large necklace fond of touching Lord Kṛṣṇa's mark of Śrīvatsa. On her ears are earrings that are the intimate associates of Lord Kṛṣṇa's shark-shaped earrings, and on her cheeks are decorations painted by the hand of Lord Kṛṣṇa, who carries the Sudarśana cakra.

Lord Kṛṣṇa did not meet her at the appointed rendezvous, and now exhausted Padmā slowly walks home.

(At sunrise,) when the forest of kuvalaya lotus flowers closed it's petals, (Padmā had given up all hope that You would come, and she) closed her eyes (in despair).

Paurṇamāsī: Uddhava, the crest-jewel of advisors has just come from Mathurā City and told me the latest news. Evil King (Kaṃsa), the black spot in the Bhoja dynasty, called for Ariṣṭa and Keśī, and respectfully said to them: "My friends, the Putanā witch, who kills little girls, was crushed to death in Nanda's village of Gokula. A small divine boy killed her as she screamed out in all directions. I can only guess that in that place there is a small boy who is the cause of great misfortune to me and good fortune to little girls. Please go to this Gokula-Vṛndāvana, carefully investigate this matter, and discover the truth."

"O Rādhā,this priest is very expert in amorous pastimes. You should satisfy Him with the proper dakṣiṇā."
