(Uddhava enters.)

Uddhava: Even though Indra and the demigods pray to Him to become unafraid of the demons, still Kṛṣṇa builds a fort in the sea out of fear of insignificant Jarāsandha, and even though His great intelligence has masterminded the entire universe, still Kṛṣṇa approaches me for advice. Who can understand the transcendental pastimes of inscrutable Lord Kṛṣṇa?

English translation

Translation

When a person with a pure heart follows the instructions of the great devotees in this world, he attains a host of good qualities, although a person with a sinful heart will not at once attain the same result. If a doe-eyed young girl sprinkles a bakula tree with nectar from her mouth, the tree will immedialtely sprout many new buds. What will happen if she sprinkles an aṭarūṣaka plant? (No new buds will sprout. Even though Satrājit followed Lord Kṛṣṇa's order, he remained an offender.)

Note: When a bakula tree is sprinkled with nectar from the mouth of a young girl, the tree immediately sprouts many new buds.

English translation

Translation

"Once Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa manifested Himself as Nārāyaṇa with four victorious hands and a very beautiful form. When the gopīs saw this exalted form, however, their ecstatic feelings abated. A learned scholar, therefore, cannot understand the gopīs' ecstatic feelings, which are firmly centered upon the original form of Lord Kṛṣṇa as the son of Nanda Mahārāja. The wonderful feelings of the gopīs in ecstatic parama-rasa with Kṛṣṇa constitute the greatest mystery of spiritual life."

Kṛṣṇa: Seating Me on a jeweled throne in a golden palace, Jāmbavān, the king of the bhallūkas, went to his treasury to get the jewel. A moment later an elderly lady approached Me and said: "Son, if You forcibly take the syamantaka jewel, then Jāmbavān's daughter will be so aggrieved that she will at once give up her life, and if Jāmbavān does not allow You, his worshipable Lord, to take the jewel, then he will break his promise to You, and there will be ill-feeling between You both. In this way Jāmbavān is now sinking into the mud of a great dilemma. If You do not extend Your hand to rescue him, I do not see how he can find a solution." Then I said to her, "O elderly one, Jāmbavān thirsts after the great quantiy of gold this jewel produces. (That is the real reason.) Why would his daughter want to give up her life (over this jewel)?" The nurse then said: "No, my son. No! . . .
