The Rasa-laden Commentary:
Supreme Lover Krishna
Narada Muni Sings the Glories of Krishna
In
fact,
who
are
these
great
sages?
There
are
many
sages
but
just
a
few
selected
great
sages.
Narada
Muni
who
is
said
to
be
the
heart
of
Lord
Vishnu,
is
a
great
sage.
Bhagwan
Vyas
Dev
is
a
great
sage.Bhagwan
Valmiki,
Bhagwan
Vashishta
and
others
are
supreme
amongst
sages.
Sages
probably
feel
that
the
entire
treasure
of
life
can
be
attained
in
the
Nirveshesh
or
Attributeless
Brahma
but
the
above-mentioned
circle
of
great
sages
are
recipients of
the
attractive
beautiful
form
of
Krishna,
the
reservoir
of
rasa.
Bhagwan Vyasa
A
question
arises at this juncture that
why
does
dissatisfaction
and
unrest
torment
the
minds
of
great
sages
only?
Though
Bhagwan
Vyasa
compiled
all
the
great
vedas and
composed
17
Puranas
he
was
mentally
distressed.
All of a sudden Narada
came
and explained to him,‘You
have
not
adequately
described
the
unblemished
glory
of
the
Supreme
Lord
in
your
works."
Child Krishna Stealing Butter
This
answered
Ved
Vyasa's
question.Soon after, he
meditated
and
got
divine
inspiration
to
write
the
Shrimad
Bhagwat
Purana.
It
is
not
only
a huge body of
literary
work
but
a literary
presentation
of Krishna's
vigraha
or
form.
Now
Ved Vyasa's soul
was
at
peace
and
his
heart
was
passionately
absorbed
in
the
lilas
or
playfull
dalliances
of
Krishna.
Sage Vashishta Relishes the Lilas of Lord Rama
Shri
Vashisht
ji
relished
the
wonderful
lilas
of Lord
Rama.
No
worldly
suffering
can
bring
pain
to
great
sages.
Relishing
the
rasa-laden
lilas
of
the
Lord
is
their
only
desire.
Playing
the
vina,
Shri
Narada
roams
in
Vraja
as
he
sings
the
glories
of
Hari.
He
longs
to
relish
the
divine play of
Krishna,
and
even
manages to
catch
a
glimpse
of
Dwarka
lila.Thus,
dark-hued
Krishna
alleviates
the
emotional distress
of
great
sages
and
fulfils
their
ardent
longing.

'yam
mada-vraja-vadhu-vasanapahari:
Krishna Steals the Gopis' Clothes
Is
He the same Supreme Lover who steals the clothes of haughty Vraja
maidens, walking affectedly with intoxication?Swindling their clothes
is just an excuse. Actually He has to delight them in His love. It is a preamble to fulfil their eternal longing of sporting
with Him in the coming autumnal nights.

Indra's Pride is Humbled by Krishna
He
is the same Govinda who destroyed the pride of Indra. The residents of
Vraja stopped the yagya of Indra and worshipped Giriraj instead.
Infuriated by this act of theirs Indra flooded the whole of Vraja in
water. However, Krishna lifted Giriraj on His little finger for seven
days at a stretch and protected Vraja. Indra was dumbstruck and
wanting to present the divine cow Kamdhenu cow to Krishna, he fell at
His feet. Thereafter, performing Krishna's abhishek he gave Him the
name of Govinda.

'yam madiya-hridayamburuhapahari
Krishna Has Stolen the Lotus of My Heart
He
is the same One who has stolen the lotus of my heart. He has
established control over my heart. Stealing my heart, my Master is
advancing towards me. Above all, He is the thief who has stolen my
entire being.

Krishna Steals the Sins of His Devotees
'I
offer
pranama
to
that
foremost
of
thieves-who
is
famous
in
Vraja
as
the
butter-thief
and
who
steals
the
gopis’
clothes,
and
who,
for
those
who
take
shelter
of
Him,
steals
the
sins
which
have
accrued
over
many
lifetimes.'
