ENGLISH TRANSLATION
171.The demigods saw the mountain of a hundred peaks and went past it to the Viraja river. When they went past the Viraja river they saw nothing more. 172.-173.Thus the demigods gazed at auspicious, wonderful, spiritual Goloka, which had a thousand lakes, which was made of jewels, and which, by the will of Lord Krsna and the wisdom of Sri Radha, was situated in the spiritual sky. The demigods then gazed at the beautiful dancing they saw there. 174.Then. O sage, as they heard beautiful, beautifully rhythmic, nectar songs there about the glories of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, the demigods fainted. 175.Regaining consciousness in a moment, and their thoughts now fixed on Lord Krsna, the demigods gazed at the many beauties and wonders there in place after place. 176. They saw all the beautiful gopis dressed in many different kinds of garments, some with mrdangas in their hands, some with vinas in their hands,... 177. ...some with camaras in their hands, some with karatalas in their hands, some with various musical instruments in their hands, some making their jewel anklets tinkle melodiously,... 178. ...some making a whole network of jewel ornaments tinkle, some spontaneously dancing as they carried jugs on their heads,... 179. ...some dressed as men with others dressed as their heroines, some dressed as Krsna with others dressed as Radha,... 180. ...some in the mood of separation, and others happily embracing each other. As they gazed at these playful gopis, the (three) demigods smiled.
