Vraja-devinam sandeshah
A Letter from the Goddesses of Vraja
Verse 379
“Why do Govardhana’s caves,
the Yamuna’s shore, Your favorite
vata tree named Bhandira, the
kadamba tree at Kaliya Lake, Your
friends and Vraja village, not enter
Your heart, even to be criticized, O
debauchee of Dvaraka.” These words
of the vraja-gopis were an unbearable
javelin wounding Lord Hari’s heart.
May that javelin protect you all.
– Sri Nila
