Translation

“When I was a guest in Shri Rädhä’s home, she said to me, ‘O brother, why are you resting at the foot of this bhäëòéra tree? A poisonous black serpent lives here. Get up and go to the delightful home of Nanda, which is visible just before you. Why don’t you go there?’” On hearing these words of Rädhä from the lips of a pilgrim, Kṛṣṇa thanked “him” in such a way that Shri Nanda Mahäräja would not understand the inner mood of his statements. May Govinda’s words of praise be victorious.
