Then the sakhi sent by Vrnda to bring news of Krishna roused Sri Radha and began describing more of his charming pastimes.

“After resting for a while, Krishna rose from his bed, surrounded in all directions by the grazing cows. Being very attentive to their needs, he knew that they were thirsty, so he informed the cowherd boys with the sound of his flute and together they herded them to an area near the Yamuna.” (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 3.68)

“Some of the boys walked ahead of the cows while others walked behind. Some who were near to Krishna sang of his many good qualities. Whether close by or far away, all the cows and boys directed their love and affection toward Krishna.” (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 3.36)

“Never mind sentient creatures; even a jeweled floor is melted by the touch of Vrajendranandana’s sweetness-spreading lotus feet. What more can we say? No one, at any time, by any means can destroy that sweetness, which is clearly marked with a flag, lotus, barleycorn and so on.” (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 3.40)

“Ah! Who can describe the fragrance of the lotus feet of the young cowherd prince, lovingly placed on Mother Earth’s bosom in the course of his pastimes? Blinded by their sweet aroma, buzzing bees abandon forest flowers and gather without hesitation around his footprints.” (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 3.41)

“Sri Krishna held his flute to his lips and began to play a song in the sweet fifth note. When this charming sound enters the ears, it immediately causes the silent creatures to speak and the talkative ones to hush. The waters stop flowing, the solids become liquid and the fierce become gentle.” (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 3.37)

“Then, because of the reverse in the creatures’ natures and the ecstatic changes in her own body that arose with the nectarous sound of the flute, the forest herself became confused.” (Govinda-LIlAmRtam 6.14)

“The forest exhibited the ecstatic symptom of trembling by her immobile beings beginning to move, paralysis by her moving creatures becoming motionless, perspiration by the tear-like dewdrops upon her leaves, paleness by the color of her flowers, tearfulness by the flowing of her flower nectar, stammering by the cries of her birds, and horripilation by the sprouting of her creepers.” (Govinda-LIlAmRtam 6.15)

“By the sweet cooing and humming of her birds and bees, her delicious, juicy fruits, and by the pleasant, gentle winds that moved her blossomed lotuses to and fro and taught her beautiful, smiling creepers to dance, the forest gave great joy to all of Sri Hari’s senses.” (Govinda-LIlAmRtam 6.17)
