Brahma Vaivarta Purana Chapter 3:91-100

Sri Radha-Sridama-sapodbhava

The Cursing of Sri Radha and Sridama

Chapter 3 : Verse 91-100

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

91.At once abandon Your pride and worship the lotus feet of Lord Hari, who merely by the play of bending His eyebrow destroys the material creation.

92.Brahma’s lifetime is an eye-blink for Lord Krsna. Twenty-eight Indras live their lives in Brahma’s day.

93.Brahma lives for 108 years calculated in this way. O Radha, You and the gopis and everyone and everything are under my master’s dominion.

94.Hearing Sridama’s very harsh and forceful words, She became suddenly angry. She stood up and spoke to him.

95.Going outside, Her hair loosened, Her lotus eyes reds, and Her lips trembling, She harshly spoke to him.

96.Sri Radha said: Rogue! Fool! Servant of a rake! Listen. I don’t know your master. You know everything about Him.

97.O lowest wretch in Vraja, Sri Krsna is your master and not Mine? You praise your father and rebuke your mother.

98.As the demons always insult the demigods, so you always insult Me! Therefore, O fool, become a demon!

99.Gopa, leave Goloka and go to a demoness’ womb. Fool, now I have cursed you. Who can protect you?

100.After thus cursing him, the queen of the rasa dance became silent. Then, with jewelled-handled camaras in their hands, Her friends served Her.
