As the divine assembly gathered, those present wondered what actions unfolded before them. Lord Nārāyaṇa began to narrate: Kṛṣṇa, after performing worship for Rādhā, remained with her in the sacred circle of the rasa dance. Inspired by Kṛṣṇa’s reverence, the minds of the assembled devotees turned to Rādhā, and they too offered her their worship, honoring the one whom Kṛṣṇa himself had venerated. Amidst this atmosphere of devotion, Kṛṣṇa and Sarasvatī sang together in melodious harmony, their voices weaving a sacred song. Pleased by these offerings, Brahmā presented Sarasvatī with a luminous garland adorned with great jewels. Kṛṣṇa, in his generosity, bestowed upon her the Kaustubha jewel, the most precious of all gems. Lord Nārāyaṇa himself offered a garland of delightful forest flowers. Viṣṇumāyā, the divine and primordial energy, the sovereign of all creation, was also present. Dharma, the very personification of righteousness, granted Sarasvatī wisdom and great fame. Meanwhile, Śambhu—urged repeatedly by Brahmā—prepared to act. In that moment, all the gods fell unconscious, as if they were painted dolls, lifeless and still. The ground itself became covered with water, emptied of the presence of Rādhā and Hari. Through deep meditation, Brahmā, the Creator, perceived the desires and intentions behind these events. Then, together with the other gods, he offered praises to the Supreme Lord. At that time, a bodiless voice resounded in the sky, proclaiming, “I am the Self of all; I am this power, the embodiment of grace for my devotees. All the Manus, all humans, and the sages devoted to Viṣṇu—if you, O lords of the gods, desire to behold my form, then you, O Brahmā, creator and teacher of the world, must give the command. “With unprecedented collections of mantras, which grant all desired fruits, create my mantra, my armor, and my hymn, and guard them diligently. Among thousands and hundreds, only one will truly worship my mantra; otherwise, all will become residents of Goloka. In each creation, five kinds of people are endowed with the creator—some dwell below, and some reside in Brahmaloka. Let Mahādeva accomplish this in the assembly of the gods.” Having spoken thus, Sanātana—the eternal one—became silent in the sky. Hearing these words of Brahmā, the lord of knowledge and best among the wise, he, together with Viṣṇu’s Māyā and others, composed the supreme scripture of mantras and sacred knowledge. It was declared that if anyone, touching the water of the Gaṅgā, were to speak falsely, grave consequences would follow. Thus, when Śaṅkara spoke these words in Goloka, in the assembly of the gods, the assembled beings, beholding him, rejoiced and praised the Supreme Person. In due course, the blessed Śambhu composed a treatise on divine weapons. The Gaṅgā, who had arisen from Goloka, was then in her liquid form, and in various places she was established by Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Soul. At this point, Nārada inquired, “Where did that most fortunate one go? Please explain this to me.” Nārāyaṇa replied, “When her curse ended, she returned once more to Vaikuṇṭha. Leaving Bhāratī in Bhārata, she went to the abode of Hari. Gaṅgā, Sarasvatī, and Lakṣmī—these three are most beloved to Hari.” Nārada then asked, “She was in the water-pot of Brahmā and on the head of Śaṅkara—how did this come to be?” Thus, the sacred narrative of the divine assembly, their offerings, the gifts of wisdom and jewels, the cosmic events, and the journeys of the blessed goddesses unfolded, revealing the profound mysteries of devotion, creation, and the Lord’s eternal companions.
