Sixteen


Sixteen Sanskaras Gopis

These are the sixteen principal Prakritis.
Govinda with Râdhâ is seated on the golden throne. Outside the throne, on the seat of Yoga, remain the chief favorites of Krishna, who are parts of Râdhikâ. 
  1. Lalita stands on the west, 
  2. Syâmalâ on the north-west, 
  3. Srimatî on the north, 
  4. Haripriyâ on the north-east, 
  5. Visâkha on the east, 
  6. Saivyâ on the south-east, 
  7. Padmâ on the south, and 
  8. Bhadrâ on the south-west. 

Then there is another group of eight, Chandrâvali, 
  1. Chitrarekhâ, 
  2. Chandrâ, 
  3. Madana 
  4. Sundari, 
  5. Sri, 
  6. Madhumati, 
  7. Chandra-rekhâ, and 
  8. Haripriyâ. Of this latter group, 
Chandrâvali holds almost equal position with Râdhikâ.
