Chapter 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23

 

Chapter 19: Again Swallowing a Forest Fire

(12) 'All right', they said and having closed their eyes delivered the Supreme Lord, the Controller of Yoga, them from the danger taking the terrible fire in with His mouth.

 

(16) With the young cowherd girls rose the greatest happiness to see Govinda present, as for them being without Him but or a moment seemed to take a hundred millennia.

 

Chapter 20: The Rainy Season and Autumn in Vrindâvana

(22) The cranes stayed at the banks of the restless lakes, my best, much like citizens feverishly keep themselves busy in their homes indeed with a mind perturbed.

(30 -31) On a grass patch sat the bulls, ruminating with their eyes closed, with the calves and the cows tired by the weight of their milkbags. To see the riches of the rainy season, that had expanded from His internal potency, always gave the Supreme Lord pleasure and made Him offer His respects.

(42) The suffering of all creatures because of the rays of the autumn sun was taken away by the moon like the suffering, based on the false identification with the body or with [the missing of] Mukunda - as the ladies of Vraja do -, is driven away by wisdom.
 

Chapter 21: The Gopîs Glorify the Song of Krishna's Flute

(5) With a peacock feather on His head, with the body of the best of dancers, a blue karnikâra lotus behind His ears, wearing golden yellow colored garments and [decorated] with the vaijayanti garland ['of victory' with flowers of five different colors], filled He the holes of His flute with the nectar from His lips as He entered Vrindâvana forest so enchanting of His footprints while His glories were being sung by the group of cowherds.
 

(20) This way picturing one another the pastimes of the Supreme Lord wandering around in Vrindâvana, attained the gopîs the full grace of that.

Chapter 22: Krishna Steals the Garments of the Unmarried Gopîs

(9) Snatching their clothes away He climbed quickly up a Kadamba tree laughing together with the boys making fun saying: (10) 'Come here, o girls, and please take each your own garment as you desire, I'm seriously not joking, since you must be tired of the vow.
 

Chapter 23: The Brahmin Wives Blessed

(7) Râma and Acyuta graze Their cows not far from here and being hungry in want ask they you to supply Them with food, o twice-born; so if you have any faith, then please donate, o finest knowers of the religion

(19) Like rivers flowing towards the ocean were the four types of [chewed, sucked, licked and drunk] edibles in all tastes of food brought and taken out in vessels to their all beloved.
