Sometimes that golden youth was crying out H Ka! H Ka! and lamenting in a sorrowful
voice. He was shedding streams of tears which choked His voice. Exclaiming H Rdhe! Where are
You? He was sighing in deep breaths, sometimes becoming very impatient and unsteady, sometimes
falling on the ground, and sometimes ecstatically dancing. Then, uttering some indiscernable words to
His intimate friends, He fell unconscious. By this behaviour He caused all living entities in the uni-
verse, from the blades of grass up to Brahm, to weep and wail.

Upon seeing this wondrous spectacle, My mind became so perplexed that My sleep was broken.
Remembering how He was calling My name, saying, Hey Rdhe! Where are You? I thought to Myself,
Was this youth My beloved r Ka? If it was, then where was I? And remembering how He was call-
ing out Hey Ka! Where are You? I thought, Was this brhmaa actually Me? He couldnt possibly
be anyone else! But if I am this brhmaa, then where was My beloved Mdhava? In this way I became
more and more confused until I drifted back to sleep.

shown You many of My forms, such as that of Nryaa resting upon Ananta-ea, but You never
become astonished upon seeing Them. So why have You become astonished upon seeing this

After saying these playful words to rmat Rdhik, r Ka thought for a moment. Then He
smiled and illuminated the Kaustubha jewel on His chest. Instantly that Kaustubha jewel began to
shine and within the bright effulgence rmat Rdhik then beheld precisely the same scene that She
saw in Her dream, including all of the moving and non-moving living entities which were present there.

Upon witnessing in Her wakened state the scene projected by the Kaustubha jewel which was identi-
cal to what She had seen in Her dream, rmat Rdhik thought, Aho! My Praanthas skilful clev-
erness knows no limit! After some deliberation, She said, O Beloved! I have understood Your inten-
tion. That exalted, golden brhmaa youth whom I saw in My dream is none other than Yourselfthe
fact that You were slightly smiling when You revealed this vision to Me verifies this. But because You
did not reveal everything to Me, the realisation has arisen within Me that I am also that Gaurga.
Therefore it seems that We have united as Gaurga.

Next rmat Rdhik said, O Beloved! I have heard that at the time of Your childhood name-giving
ceremony, Gargcrya, the knower of the Vedas, told Your father Nanda, the king of Vraja, Previously
Your son incarnated in white and red colours; now He has appeared in this dark colour, and in the
future He will also appear in a yellow form. These words of his can never be untrue. Therefore My

*The word argal literally means a wooden bolt that is used to secure a door, and thus powerful arms
are often compared to argals. The argals of Kmadeva represent material attachment, and especially
attraction to the form of a woman. Just as no one can pass beyond a door which is secured with a power-
ful argal, no one can pass beyond Kmadevas argals. Even Brahm lusted after his own daughter, and
iva was attracted to Mohin-mrti. But Kas arms are infinitely more powerful than Kmadevas
arms, and one who becomes attracted to them can easily pass beyond Kmadevas argals.
