Endowed with beauty and fortune, she was as delightful as a pair of auspicious coconuts, radiating auspiciousness in every detail. Her loveliness was unsurpassed: serene and smiling, her charming eyes slightly curved, captivating all who beheld her. Her gaze, like that of a swan and a chakora bird, was both joyful and constant, bestowing blessings with every glance. Musk spots and a sandalwood mark adorned her below, enhancing her allure. Her splendid hair was arranged with care and decorated with fragrant garlands of jasmine, crowning her with natural grace. Her radiance surpassed the brilliance of ten million moons, lighting up the world with her presence. In the circle of the divine Rasa dance, the Lord of the Rasa was united with her in perfect harmony. He, the very embodiment of love, engaged in many kinds of playful, amorous pastimes with her. At last, exhausted from their union, the father of the world entered her womb. O virtuous one, when their great union ended, a breath arose from her body as she rested from her exertion. This exhaled breath became the very support of all existence. From the left side of this embodied wind, the beloved of life emerged, and from it came the vital airs—prāṇa, apāna, samāna, udāna, and vyāna. From her sweat and water, the great god Varuṇa was born. Then, from this union, Kṛṣṇa-śakti bore a child from Kṛṣṇa himself. She, who presided over Kṛṣṇa’s very life, was dearer to him than his own existence. After a hundred Manvantaras had passed, the supremely beautiful goddess gazed upon the cosmic egg and was deeply afflicted in her heart. Seeing this abandonment, Kṛṣṇa cried out in lamentation, “Because you, harsh and wrathful one, have abandoned your offspring—whatever goddesses are born as your portions—” At that moment, the goddess suddenly emerged from the tip of the tongue, clad in yellow garments, holding a vīṇā and a book. After some time, she assumed a dual form, and simultaneously, Kṛṣṇa too became twofold in form. Śrī Kṛṣṇa said to Vāṇī, “You become his beloved.” Thus, pleased, he gave Lakṣmī to Nārāyaṇa. And because you are childless, two will arise from the portion of Rādhā. These two, in brilliance, age, beauty, and qualities, will be equal to Hari himself. Then, O sage, from the pore of the Lord of Goloka, by form, by virtue, by attire, or by valor, from the pores of Rādhā’s body arose the cowherd maidens. Adorned with jeweled ornaments, they possessed beauty that was ever-youthful and unchanging. Meanwhile, O Brahmin, suddenly from Kṛṣṇa’s body appeared the goddess Nārāyaṇī, sovereign and embodiment of all powers. She was the seed-form of all goddesses, the primal nature, the supreme Lady, her radiance shining like molten gold, as brilliant as ten million suns. Bearing many kinds of weapons and missiles, she was three-eyed, and by her portions and sub-portions, all women came into being.
