Chapter 19: Again Swallowing a
Forest Fire
(12) 'All right', they said
and having closed their eyes delivered the Supreme Lord, the Controller
of Yoga,
them from the danger taking the terrible fire in with His
mouth.
Chapter 20: The Rainy Season and
Autumn in Vrindâvana
(22) The cranes stayed at the
banks of the restless lakes, my best, much like citizens feverishly
keep themselves busy in their homes indeed with a mind perturbed.
(32) With the two of
Râma and Kes'ava dwelling this way in Vraja manifested the season
of fall itself in full with a cloudless sky, the clearest water and a
gentle wind. (33) In autumn the lotuses regenerated and regained the
bodies of water their original state [of purity], the way the minds of
the fallen are restored by the practice of devotional service.
Chapter 21: The Gopîs
Glorify the Song
of Krishna's Flute
(5) With a peacock feather on
His head, with the body of the best of dancers, a blue karnikâra
lotus behind His ears, wearing golden yellow colored garments and
[decorated] with the vaijayanti garland ['of victory' with flowers of
five different colors], filled He the holes of His flute with the
nectar from His lips as He entered Vrindâvana forest so
enchanting of His footprints while His glories were being sung by the
group of cowherds.
Chapter 22: Krishna Steals the
Garments
of the Unmarried
Gopîs
(9) Snatching their clothes away
He climbed quickly up a Kadamba tree laughing together with the boys
making fun saying: (10) 'Come here, o girls, and
please take each your own garment as you desire, I'm seriously not
joking, since you must be tired of the vow.
Chapter 23: The Brahmin Wives
Blessed
(7) Râma and
Acyuta
graze Their cows not far from here and being hungry in want ask they
you to supply
Them with food, o twice-born; so if you have any faith,
then please donate, o finest knowers of the religion
(31-32) The Supreme Lord
said: 'Your husbands will not be bad of jealousy nor will your fathers,
brothers, sons or other people; even the demigods will, on My word,
regard you favorably. (33) Hearing, attending [to the deity or the
gathering of devotees], meditating and singing about Me, you are of
love for Me, not so much with being physically close to Me; therefore
return to your homes.'
