His description is based in the proper nishtha for a<strong> manjari bhava sadhaka<\/strong>. The present lila is unfolding primarily in sakhya and vatsalya rasa, but Sri Vishwanath describes it as though he were sitting by Radhika Devi&#8217;s side in Javat.<\/p>\n<p>In this setting, the sakhis and manjaris are relishing Krishna kathamrita with her when a sakhi named <strong>Madhurika <\/strong>suddenly arrives on the scene. Everyone asks her where she has been and Madhurika answers,<br \/>\n&#8220;Sakhis! This morning I went to Vraja Raja Nanda&#8217;s house on an errand. If you listen to me, I will tell you the wonderful things I saw:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Krishna sat up on the bed, Sri Nandarani softly rubbed her hand over his entire body reciting the mantra avy\u0101d ajo&#8217;\u00ecghrim to protect him. Then Yashoda looked towards the sky and anxiously prayed: &#8216;Hey Dev\u0101di Deva (Lord of Lords Narayan)! By your mercy, I&#8217;ve received this jewel-like son-thus you&#8217;re my actual friend! Hey Deva! I don&#8217;t know how to satisfy you with puja! Therefore, oh Prabhu! Kindly show your ahaituki karuna (causeless mercy) and protect my son!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then Mother Rohini arrives with Paurnamasi Devi and <strong>Krishna&#8217;s nurse, Kilimba<\/strong>.Next Madhurika tells R\u0101dh\u0101: &#8220;Oh Gandharvika! Today an interesting thing happened-just listen: When Vrajeshwari Yashoda saw your blue orana on Krishna&#8217; body, she asked, &#8220;Why has Krishna discarded his yellow dress to wear blue?&#8221; Then Bhagavati Paurnamasi answered, &#8220;Ayi, Goshtheshwari! Your son&#8217;s clothes have become exchanged with Rama&#8217;s ambara.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Madhurika continues:<br \/>\n&#8220;Oh R\u0101dh\u0101, as Paurnamasi saw the red pan stain from your lips on Krishna&#8217;s face, she said&#8221; &#8220;Oh Madhava, someone&#8217;s valuable ruby has reflected upon your cheeks!&#8221; The Krishna used his hand to rub our the mark left by your red lips.<\/p>\n<p>Madhurika continues:<br \/>\n&#8220;Oh Sakhi Radhe! When Mother Yashoda saw Krishna&#8217;s drowsiness from his lack of sleep (due to enjoying with you), she spoke to Balaram&#8217;s mother:<br \/>\n&#8216;Oh Rohini Devi, just look! Yesterday evening Krishna didn&#8217;t eat sufficiently; thus he appears tired and weak. Therefore quickly bring something for him to eat!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Thus Rohini set off for the kitchen. Then Yashoda&#8217;s servants seated Krishna upon a jeweled vedi to assist in brushing his teeth and washing. And afterwards, Balaram and Madhumangal came to sit on both sides of Krishna. Thus he appeared as a rain cloud illuminated by the lightning and the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Just then Rohini Mata came with a golden tray containing fresh churned butter (scented with camphor) and sugar candy. Seeing the wonderful butter, one could imagine: the love pouring from Yashomati&#8217;s heart has directly taken shape in this delicious nutriment!<br \/>\nMa Yashoda eagerly served more and more to Krishna, Balaram and Madhu until everyone became satisfied except Madhumangal. Although having eaten a large amount of butter, he exclaimed: &#8220;Oh mata, I&#8217;m still hungry: my belly is only half full!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Mother Yashoda smiled, she continued to serve Madhumangal to his full satisfaction.
