Radiant with divine splendor, Krishna wandered through the mysterious caves of the mountains. As he moved, his presence did not go unnoticed—the Siddhas, Yakṣas, and Gandharvas, those celestial and mystical beings, beheld with awe the One who pervades the entire universe. In reverence, they showered a rain of fragrant flowers upon the head of that great soul. Yet, even these exalted beings, their garments and ornaments in disarray, trembled at the sight of Krishna. The beautiful women who gazed upon the son of Devaki were overcome with longing. Some stood transfixed, drinking in the nectar of his smile, unable to turn away. Moved by passionate affection, these women adorned Krishna, the very ornament of the world, with their own jewelry, and in turn, they adorned themselves and even Madhava with their finest ornaments. With innocent, deer-like eyes, they kissed the lotus face of Hari. Enchanted and deluded by his divine illusion, they led him away, as if to the very world of the gods. Krishna, ever compassionate and playful, assumed many forms and, in sportive delight, fulfilled their desires. The glorious Narayana thus delighted, enchanting the entire world with his wondrous illusion. But as Krishna dwelled apart, the people became distressed and fearful in their separation from Govinda. Searching for him, Krishna went to the mighty mountain Himavat. Eventually, he returned to the splendid city of Dvaravati, to Upamanyu. Soon after, thousands arrived at radiant Dvaraka, bringing with them an air of threat and fear. Krishna, ever the protector, slew them in a great battle and safeguarded the resplendent city. Later, seeing Krishna atop the summit of Kailasa, another journeyed to Dvaravati. There, they inquired: “O Lord Narayana, where does the blessed Hari now reside?” The reply came: “Today, the great yogi delights; having seen him, I have come here.” O sages, he who moves through the sky then traveled to the supreme mountain Kailasa. There, before the Lord of gods, Hari—Govinda—was seated upon a splendid throne, surrounded by Mahadeva’s hosts, perfected beings, and yogis. He recounted to Hari all that had transpired in the city of Dvaraka. Then Krishna, having been permitted by Hari, prepared to return to his city. Honored by sweet, nectar-like words, Madhusudana departed, the bearer of the conch, discus, and mace, followed by great yogis. Swiftly, Govinda made his way to the divine city of Dvaravati. His very presence illumined the city—nights without the moon shone because of him. The people adorned the auspicious, divine city of Dvaravati, decorating it with parched grain and other offerings. Thousands of conches were blown, and the sounds of drums resounded in celebration. Women, radiant in their youth, sang sweet and melodious songs, and a shower of flowers fell upon the son of Vasudeva. The great yogi, seated upon a splendid throne, shone brilliantly, surrounded by goddesses. He was encircled by his chief sons and by thousands of women. The god shone with his consort Mālā by his side, just as the Supreme God shines with his goddess. The ancient great sages, the twice-born such as Markandeya, were also present. Hari rose, bowed his head in respect, and offered his own seat to them. Having granted the assembled their desired boons, Hari then graciously dismissed them, his blessings bringing peace and fulfillment to all.
