Madhurikas account in Javat
Vishwanath Chakravarti provides more details in Krihsna-bhavanamrita, which he presents from a remarkable angle of vision. His description is based in the proper nishtha for a manjari bhava sadhaka. The present lila is unfolding primarily in sakhya and vatsalya rasa, but Sri Vishwanath describes it as though he were sitting by Radhika Devi's side in Javat.
In this setting, the
sakhis and manjaris are relishing Krishna kathamrita with her when a sakhi
named Madhurika suddenly arrives on the scene. Everyone asks her where she has been and Madhurika answers,
"Sakhis! This morning I went to Vraja Raja Nanda's house on an errand. If you
listen to me, I will tell you the wonderful things I saw:
"When Krishna sat up on the bed, Sri Nandarani softly rubbed her hand over his entire body reciting the mantra avyād ajo'ìghrim to protect him. Then Yashoda looked towards the sky and anxiously prayed: 'Hey Devādi Deva (Lord of Lords Narayan)! By your mercy, I've received this jewel-like son-thus you're my actual friend! Hey Deva! I don't know how to satisfy you with puja! Therefore, oh Prabhu! Kindly show your ahaituki karuna (causeless mercy) and protect my son!"
Then Mother Rohini arrives with Paurnamasi Devi and Krishna's nurse, Kilimba.Next Madhurika tells Radha: "Oh Gandharvika! Today an interesting thing happened-just listen: When Vrajeshwari Yashoda saw your blue orana on Krishna' body, she asked, "Why has Krishna discarded his yellow dress to wear blue?" Then Bhagavati Paurnamasi answered, "Ayi, Goshtheshwari! Your son's clothes have become exchanged with Rama's ambara."
Madhurika continues:
"Oh Radha, as Paurnamasi saw the red pan stain from your lips on Krishna's
face, she said" "Oh Madhava, someone's valuable ruby has reflected upon your
cheeks!" The Krishna used his hand to rub our the mark left by your red lips.
Madhurika continues:
"Oh Sakhi Radhe! When Mother Yashoda saw Krishna's drowsiness from his lack of
sleep (due to enjoying with you), she spoke to Balaram's mother:
'Oh Rohini Devi, just look! Yesterday evening Krishna didn't eat sufficiently;
thus he appears tired and weak. Therefore quickly bring something for him to
eat!'
Thus Rohini set off for the kitchen. Then Yashoda's servants seated Krishna upon a jeweled vedi to assist in brushing his teeth and washing. And afterwards, Balaram and Madhumangal came to sit on both sides of Krishna. Thus he appeared as a rain cloud illuminated by the lightning and the moon.
Just then Rohini Mata came with a golden tray containing fresh churned butter
(scented with camphor) and sugar candy. Seeing the wonderful butter, one could
imagine: the love pouring from Yashomati's heart has directly taken shape in
this delicious nutriment!
Ma Yashoda eagerly served more and more to Krishna, Balaram and Madhu until
everyone became satisfied except Madhumangal. Although having eaten a large
amount of butter, he exclaimed: "Oh mata, I'm still hungry: my belly is only half full!"
As Mother Yashoda smiled, she continued to serve Madhumangal to his full
satisfaction. (Krishna-bhavanamrita 3.31-43)
