Verse 1
\nSrimati R\u0101dh\u0101rani is bathed and dressed in the morning.
\nThen receiving Vrajeshwari Yashoda’s order, she goes with her sakhi varga to cook at Krishna’s house.
\nKrishna awakens and goes to milk the cows at the goshala.
\nThen he bathes, dresses and sits down with the sakhas to relish R\u0101dh\u0101’s cooking.
\nAnd after Krishna’s bhojan, R\u0101dh\u0101rani enjoys his prasad with her sakhis.
\nLet us thus take shelter of R\u0101dh\u0101 and Krishna in the early morning. (SmaraNa-maGgala, 4)<\/p>\n

Tika:
\nThis is Sri Rupa’s fourth shloka in Smara\u1e47a-ma\u1e45gala. Srila Kaviraj Goswami will now expand on it with the narration that continues to the end of the fourth chapter, a total of 295 shlokas.
\nOnce upon a time, Durvasa Muni gave R\u0101dh\u0101 the benediction that her cooking would defeat the taste of nectar, and that the life’s duration of whomever partakes of it would increase. After hearing about this wonderful boon, Mother Yashoda eagerly began calling Srimati R\u0101dh\u0101rani to come to Nanda bhavan to daily prepare Krishna’s morning bhojan.<\/p>\n

Verse 2
\nPaurnamasi Devi’s heart is illuminated by the full moon of Krishna prema. She quickly finishes her duties at daybreak and rushes to Nanda bhavan to have Sri Achyuta’s darshan.Tika: Bhagavati Paurnamasi is none other than Sri Yogamaya, by whose mystic potency Sri Krishna’s lilas unfold. As Krishna’s seniormost associate, all of the Vrajavasis offer respects unto her feet-even Vraja Raja Nanda. Paurnamasi is Sandipani Muni’s mother and the grandmother of Krishna’s intimate brahmin friend Madhumangal. As a siddha-tapasvini, she resides in a secluded spot near the Yamuna in a thatched cottage under a banyan tree.<\/p>\n

Verse 3
\nPaurnamasi’s eyes are overjoyed to see Nanda Maharaj’s palace. Everywhere there are affectionate, loving people moving about. The building is a marvel of jeweled craftsmanship. The courtyard appears like Svetadvipa overflowing with spilt milk from the churning of yogurt and butter. And within this abode, Krishna happily rests on an elegant bed of white sheets that resemble an ocean of milk.<\/p>\n

Tika:
\nIn the Gutika, Siddha Krishna Das Babagi<\/strong> describes Nanda bhavan as having forty-nine rooms: Krishna’s bedroom chamber is in the palace’s southern section. Govinda-l\u012bl\u0101m\u1e5bta first describes Nandagram’s morning pastimes (up to shloka 41). But in K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-bh\u0101van\u0101m\u1e5bta, Srila Vishwanath Chakravarti begins with Srimati R\u0101dh\u0101rani’s morning activities, as Sri Rupa in the sutra.<\/p>\n

So let’s enter Srila Vishwanath’s scene first: R\u0101dh\u0101 is resting in her room at Javat. To comfortably accommodate R\u0101dh\u0101 after her marriage, Sri Vrishabhanu Raja built a separate mansion for her on the north side of Jatila’s house. The pillars, verandas, archways and many rooms of this palace defeat the splendor of Narayan’s abode. Hence, simply by viewing this amazing structure, one becomes stunned with ashta sattvika emotions!<\/p>\n

Above the palace are indranila-mani (blue sapphire) pillars that are crested by swans sculpted in gold. When the peacocks see the pillars, however, they first mistake them for clouds and open their tail feathers to dance, but when they see the swans, they close their feathers, thinking them to be their foes.<\/p>\n

Being the first to awaken, the manjaris bathe and decorate themselves with chandan, kasturi and kunkum. Next they adorn their bodies with R\u0101dh\u0101’s prasadi clothes, malas and ornaments to maintain their effulgence. Owing to their complete surrender for R\u0101dh\u0101 Krishna’s Yugala-seva, these dasis are extremely beautiful-their shining toenails alone are brighter than lightning. Moreover, they are the personifications of quick-witted intelligence. Thus each of them is qualified to be a yutheshwari nayika (a group leader amongst the gopis).Yet, being disinterested in personal pleasure, they plunge deep into the ocean of Sri R\u0101dh\u0101’s dasya rasa.<\/p>\n

On the second storey of R\u0101dh\u0101’s palace, the manjaris joyfully clean the floors and verandas where R\u0101dh\u0101 will eat, rest, sit or dress.
\nThen they spread a deerskin for her to sit on, arranging comfortable pillows on all sides.
\nNext they hang a decorative canopy in place overhead.
\nOne of them polishes the golden glasses and utensils that R\u0101dh\u0101 will use upon awakening.<\/p>\n

Another kinkari brings water, which will be cool in the summer and hot in the winter.
\nOne dasi opens the jeweled trunk where R\u0101dh\u0101’s clothes are kept, removes the garments that she will wear today, and places them over a pillow.
\nSome seva dasis are grinding camphor and kunkum, while
\nothers are preparing flower ornaments and malas for R\u0101dh\u0101’s shringar, or folding pan leaves with condiments inside. (Krishna-bhavanamrita 3.1-9)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
