110-119 Uddipanas for Krishna’s love for Radha
Verse
110
As Radha Kund's endless qualities continue to incite uddipana of Radha's rupa,
guna and lila-madhurya, Krishna's mind submerges in ecstasy, yet the
ever-increasing anticipation of her arrival makes Krishna more impatient! The more prema awakens, the more uddipanas can be observed around oneself.
Hence, in deep anxiousness for Radha's sanga, Krishna sees everything as an
object stimulating his love for her!
Verse 111
Thereafter, Sri Krishna glances towards Shyama Kund and finds it to be eqhally
charming. Its many beautiful kunjas are presented and maintained by Subala,
Madhumangal and all of the other priya-narma sakhas.
Verse 112-113
Surrounding Shyama Kund in all directions are the kunjas of subala, Madhumangal,
Ujjvala, Arjuna, Vidagdha, Bhriringa, Kokila, Daksha and Sanandan. These
priya-narma-sakhas have entrusted their kunjas to Radha, Lalita and the other
chief sakhis mentioned in the upcoming shlokas.
Verse 114
On Shyama Kund's northest corner is Subal-ananda-da Kunja. Subal Sakha gave this
bower to Radha, and every day she and her sakhis come to its tirtha,
Manasa-pavana Ghat, for bathing.
Verse 115
Srimati loves this kunda just as she loves Krishna. She is always eager to
bathe here because Shyama Kund is mixed with the madhu of Shyamasundar's lotus
feet.
Verse 116
On Shyama Kund's northern shore is Madhumangal-ananda-da Kunja. This colorful
bower was offered to Latita; it is also dear to Radha.
Verse 117
Ujjvala Sakha's kunja is in Shyama Kund's northwest corner, and he gave it to
Vishakha Sakhi.
On the western side is Arjuna Sakha's kunja, which he presented
to Chitra Sakhi.
Similarly, Krishna's other priya-narma sakhas have given their
kunjas in the other directions to Radha's foremost sakhis.Here Srila Kaviraj Goswami only hints at the existence of other kunjas.
The
Gutika gives the complete list as follows:•
•
Northwest-Subala's kunja, given to Radha;
• North-Madhumangal's kunja, given to Lalita;
• Northeast-Ujjvala's kunja, given to Vishakha;
• East-Arjuna's kunja, given to Chitra;
• Southeast-Gandharva's kunja, given to Indulekha;
• South-Vidagdha's kunja, given to Champakalata;
• Southwest-Bhringa's kunja, given to Rangadevi;
• West-kokila's kunja, given to Sudevi.
The other kunjas in the west have given to Tungavidya and Ananga Manjari by
Daksha and Sanandana Sakhis.
Verse 118
On Shyama Kund's east side and Radha Kund's west side are two general ghats
where the Vrajavasis, cows and forest animals bathe and drink the water.
Verse 119
Most people don't believe these descriptions of Radha Kund. Yet only nitya
siddha and bhavuka sadhaka bhaktas can see Radha Kund and Shyama Kund's actual
svarupa. Others simply see their external forms.
