Description of the Quarrel between Sridama and Radha

Chapter 2 : Verse 61-68

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

61.To that gopa, who was Sri Krsna’s dear friend named Sridama, goddess Radha, Her eyes now like red lotuses, angrily said:

62.Go away! O servant of a rake, go away! I will see what kind of beautiful lover Your master has now!

63.Hearing Radha’s words, strong and fearless Sridama, holding a stick in his hand, did not allow Her to enter.

64.Their lips trembling, the other gopis angrily pushed the servant Sridama.

65.Hearing a great commotion from the people of Goloka and understanding that Radha was angry, Lord Hari disappeared.

66.Hearing the word “Radha” and seeing Lord Hari disappear, Viraja became afraid. By practice of mystic yoga she gave up her life.

67.Her body at once became a river circling Goloka.

68.That river was filled with jewels, very deep, eight hundred million miles wide, and ten times as long.
