Baelvana

 


Laksmi-devi could not enter Vrndavana, even though she performed severe austerities in Baelvana. She wanted to cross the River Yamuna and see the rasa-lila, but she could not.

Yogamaya is greater than Laksmi, and she can control everyone. When she saw Laksmi’s austerities, she approached her and said, “You are a chaste lady, a brahmani, married to Narayana. Can you give up your husband and marry somebody else – a gopa?”

Laksmi replied, “I cannot do it. How is it possible?”

Yogamaya said, “Can you make cow dung paddies?”

Laksmi replied, “Oh, I cannot do that. I don’t know how.”

Yogamaya asked, “Can you milk cows?”

Laksmi replied, “I have never done it before.”

Then Yogamaya told her, “You cannot go to Vrndavana, because you are not qualified. First you would have to take birth from a gopi’s womb, associate with the gopis, and try to follow them. You would have to marry a gopa like Durmukha, Durmada, Abhimanyu, or Govardhana Malla. Then, when you have given up that husband, you would be able to go to Krsna and make Him your beloved. This is the only process.”

In one kalpa it was Yogamaya who questioned Laksmi-devi, and in another it was Krsna Himself, but both of them had to tell her the same conclusion: she is unfit for this rasa.

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.

Puri

 Durvasas first explained that Krishna was the all-pervading Purusha, underlying all. Then further on, there are seven Sâkâmya Puris or places, on the top of Meru, as well as seven nishkâmya Puris.

(The commentator Visvesvara explains "Sâkâmya," as regions where desires fructify. As on the Meru there are seven such Puris, so there are seven Nishkâmya or Moksha-producing Puri's). On the earth, these, are seven Sâkâmya Puris (Ayodhyâ, Mathurâ and others.)
