Rādhe! Puṣpodyāne Giyā Kusuma Cayane
Madhyāhna-līlā, Part 1 — Afternoon Pastimes
Rādhe! All of us will go to a flower garden and engage in picking and selecting flowers. Kṛṣṇa will call us ‘flower thieves’ and He will then catch You.
When will You tell Hari, “Vṛndā Sakhī has authority over me. Who cares for You? Do not come here. The wives of others are picking flowers.”
Kṛṣṇa will say, “Shameless ladies! Now you belong to Me! Catching all of you, I will immediately take you to where that king known as Kandarpa resides!”
The flower basket will be snatched from my hand – taken by that great philanderer. In front of everyone, He will hold You responsible, and You will be taken by Him who is the best of the relishers of rasa.
About Rādhe! Puṣpodyāne Giyā Kusuma Cayane
In the flower garden Kṛṣṇa accuses the gopīs of stealing flowers and threatens to take them before "King Kandarpa"; Rādhā answers that the garden is Vṛndā's, and He snatches the flower basket out of the maidservant's hand.
