The Wedding of Sri Radha-Krsna

Chapter 15: Verse 61-70

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 61.O saintly one, recline on this couch. Become the splendour decorating My chest. As an ornament is the body’s splendour, so You are My splendour. 62.When You do no stand by My side, the people call Me Krsna. When You do stand by My side the people call Me splendid Krsna (Sri Krsna). 63.You are splendour. You are opulence, You are the resting place of everything. For everyone, and also for Me, You are all power. 64.I am not an ordinary man and You are not an ordinary woman. That is the conclusion of the Vedas. O infallible one, You have the power to assume any form You wish, and I have that power also. 65.When I choose to appear as the Brahman effulgence, You also appear as the Brahman effulgence. When I choose not a manifest a form, You also do not manifest a form. 66.O beautiful one, when I choose to become the seed that begets everything, then by Your mystic powers You become the most beautiful of all women. 67.You are half of My body. You are the Supreme Goddess, the root of all nature. In power, intelligence, knowledge, and glory, You are My equal. 68.One who thinks We are different is the lowest of men. He stays in the hell called Kalasutra for as long as the sun and moon shine in the sky. 69.He makes seven generations of ancestors and seven generations of descendants fall down. The piety he earned in ten million births is destroyed. 70.They who foolishly insult Us are the lowest of men. They burn in hell through the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas.
