"That rascal has given His heart to another girl!"
"O friend, He never stopped worshiping You for a moment."
Radha was pleased by the nectar of this conversation. Disguised as a gopi, Krishna brought Her to a cottage in the forest grove, and then revealed His real form. May smiling Lord Krishna protect you all.
