The Wedding of Sri Radha-Krsna

Chapter 15: Verse 23-30

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 23.Seeing Radha, illuminating the ten directions with a splendour greater than ten millions suns, suddenly come to that secluded place, Nanda was very surprised. 24.His head bowed and his eyes filled with tears, he said to Her: From Garga Muni’s mouth I have learned that to the Supreme Personality of Godhead You are more dear than Goddess Laksmi. 25.I also know that this boy is the infallible Supreme Personality of Godhead, beyond the modes of nature and superior even to Lord Maha-Visnu. Still, I am just an ordinary human being, bewildered by Lord Visnu’s illusory potency. 26.O beautiful one, now You may take my son and enjoy with Him as You like. When Your desires are all fulfilled, You will return Him to me. 27.After speaking these words, he fearfully gave the crying infant to Her. She accepted Him with a sweet and happy smile. 28.She said to Nanda: Take care that this secret is not revealed. How many births of pious deeds have made you able to see Me? 29.Garga Muni told you, and therefore you know the secret of why Krsna and I have come to Gokula and Vraja. 30.Please ask for whatever your heart desires. I can easily give to you what even the demigods cannot attain.
