My mother-in-law is suspicious. My sisters-in-law watch My every move, licking Me with their eyes. My husband sighs with jealousy. My enemies sniff about to discover My intentions. I cannot go with You now. From a distance please accept My respects with folded hands. What is the use of these crooked sidelong glances? O friend expert at relishing transcendental mellows, these endeavors to convince Me to go with You are all useless.

When Lord Krishna arrived in Radha's courtyard for Their rendezvous, His tinkling ornaments sounded as the cooing of cuckoos and other birds. He suddenly heard the door open, and He also heard the continual jingling sounds of conchshell bracelets. When He heard the arrogant Jarati call out, "Who's there? Who's there?" He became pained at heart. He spent that entire night hiding in a tree in a corner of the courtyard.

Mother Yasoda said to Krishna: "My child, I invited Radha to a party at night. Her husband wasn't at home. She left Her empty home and came here. When She came the servants were very agitated and said: `How can a chaste wife travel about all alone? How can She return to Her home unaccompanied?' For this reason, my child, I want You to escort Her home." When Radha and Madhava heard Mother Yasoda's words, They glanced at each other. All glories to Their sweetly smiling gentle glances.

One day Radha accidentally met Krishna in the forest. She said: "I am going. O Acyuta, what happiness will I get by seeing You? If a girl stays in a secluded place with a man her reputation is ruined." After saying these crooked hints, Radha feigned unhappiness and remained motionless. Lord Krishna suddenly embraced Her, making the hairs of His body stand up with joy. I pray Lord Krishna will protect you all.
