Upon hearing the words of Shri Krishna, the lotus-born Brahma smiled gently. With a serene countenance, the four-faced creator began to speak of the four sacred Vedas, their wisdom echoing through the divine assembly. He spoke of Ganga, who was born from Krishna’s own limb during the celestial circle of the rasa dance. Ganga, Brahma explained, is a portion of Krishna and a portion of himself, cherished as dearly as a daughter. Her destiny was revealed: Ganga’s husband would be the four-armed Lord residing in Vaikuntha. Brahma also spoke of Radha, who dwells in Goloka, yet is present everywhere as the very self of all beings. Hearing Brahma’s words, Ganga accepted them with a gentle smile, and there she remained—peaceful, poised, and standing amidst the divine gathering. Then, Brahma took a little of that sacred water and placed it carefully into his water pot. To Ganga, the lotus-born one bestowed the mantra of Radhika, as prescribed in the Sāma Veda, along with the proper sequence of rites. He declared that Lakshmi, Sarasvati, Ganga, and Tulasi are the purifiers of the universe. At this moment, Krishna smiled and spoke to Brahma, saying, “Listen to the account of time; hear what has passed. You, the other gods, the sages, and the Manus—all live in Goloka, where the wheel of time does not exist. Those like Brahma and others who dwell in other worlds are now absorbed in Me. Go and create again the worlds, beginning with Brahmaloka and beyond. Thus, in other universes, after creating Brahma and the rest anew, in the blink of My eyes, the fall of Brahma takes place.” Having spoken thus, the Lord of Radhika withdrew to the inner chambers. Ganga remained in Goloka, in Vaikuntha, and in Sivaloka, abiding by the command of the Supreme Self. Thus was the entire excellent story of Ganga told. Then Narada spoke, saying, “These four are indeed the beloved ones of Narayana. I have heard that Ganga went to Vaikuntha.” Narayana added, “Having gone together with her, he bowed to the Lord of the universe.” Brahma then described Ganga: “This goddess, the presiding deity, is unparalleled in form upon the earth. She is endowed with fresh youth, virtuous, beautiful, and excellent. Born from his body, she chooses none other but him alone. She is prepared to drink this, fearful and with deliberation.” Brahma continued, “Seeing Goloka entirely dried up, I then arrived there, knowing everything—the inner soul of all and their intentions. Having given her the Radhika mantra and having filled Goloka, I say: With a Gandharva marriage, accept this goddess, ruler of the gods. Among gods, she is the best jewel; among men, the best jewel; among women, she is the best, virtuous one. He who, out of pride, does not accept the maiden who is present—even one who is learned does not disregard nature. You alone, O Lord, are the beginningless, attributeless, beyond nature. Radhika, supreme, was formerly born from the left side of Krishna.” Thus, the sacred tale unfolded, revealing the divine origins, destinies, and relationships of Ganga, Radha, and the purifying goddesses, all within the timeless realms of Goloka and Vaikuntha, under the guidance of Krishna and Brahma.
