     Mukharā exclaimed repeatedly, “How astonishing! Morning has come and my granddaughter is still sleeping!” Her heart softened by love, she entered Rādhā’s bedroom and said, “My darling child!

After you bathe, make the morning offering to Sūryadeva and then quickly prepare for his pūjā.” (Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 2.48-49)

Never neglect the order of goṣṭheśvarī Śrī Yaśodā, but don’t bother listening to the words of the ignorant.’ Therefore, O honorable Mukharā, to help my son become wealthy in every way, please adorn your granddaughter with all blessings of good fortune.” (Govinda-Līlāmṛtam 2.43-46)
