To enjoy pastimes with Me they should go to Vraja. 236.O Narada, then Lord Krsna stopped speaking. The demigods, demigoddesses, gopas and gopis were silent. 237.Then Brahma, Siva, Yama, Sesa, Parvati, Laksmi and Sarasvati joyfully offered prayers to Lord Krsna. 238.Overcome with love and burning in the flames of imminent separation, the devoted gopas and gopis offered prayers to Lord Krsna and bowed down before Him. 239.Burning in the flames of imminent separation even though Her desires were all fulfilled, Sri Radha devotedly offered prayers to Her lover Krsna, who is more dear to Her than life. 240.Seeing that Sri Radha was weeping many tears of distress, Lord Krsna spoke to Her truthful words of enlightenment.
