TRANSLATION

"'"My dearmost Krishna, You are worshiping Me and giving up the company of all the other gopis, who wanted to enjoy themselves with You." Thinking like this, Srimati Radharani considered Herself Krishna's most beloved gopi. She had become proud and had left the rasa-lila with Krishna. In the deep forest She said, "My dear Krishna, I cannot walk any more. You can take Me wherever You like." When Srimati Radharani petitioned Krishna in this way, Krishna said, "Just get up on My shoulders." As soon as Srimati Radharani began to do so, He disappeared. Srimati Radharani then began to grieve over Her request and Krishna's disappearance.'

PURPORT
