The sages said:

1. O glorious one, we have duly heard from you the (description of) 搁腻尘补鈥檚 horse-sacrifice. Now tell us the greatness (i.e. glory) of noble 艢谤墨办峁涐梗峁嘺.

S奴ta said:

2-3. O best sages, (please) listen to the nectar-like story of 艢谤墨办峁涐梗峁嘺. I shall tell you what 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 asked the lord of beings. Once goddess 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 with her mind affectionate towards 艢颈惫补, having saluted him with reverence, said these words to him:

笔腻谤惫补迟墨 said:

4-5. The place of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 staying without and within the crores of universes, is beyond them, is the chief one, the best one, and excellent. There is no place superior to the one which is 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 charming place, dear to him. O great lord, I desire to hear it all. (Please) tell it.

The lord said:

6-15a. The highest, excellent secret place dear (to 痴颈峁ａ箛耻) is more secret than a secret place, is holy, is very wonderful, and gives great joy. O goddess, it is great, very difficult to reach among all the places that are difficult to reach; it is full of all power, and is concealed among all places. This place of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 is the chief among the places of the 厂腻迟惫补迟补蝉, is extremely difficult to reach, is eternal, is called 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补, and is situated above the universe. It is the complete Brahman, happiness and glory, is eternal, is bliss, and is imperishable. 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 is a part of its portion; on the earth there is 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 itself. Whatever is the glory of Goloka is settled in Gokula. Whatever glory is (found) in 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 is settled in 顿惫腻谤补办腻. Whatever is the glory of that highest Brahman, it always resorts to 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补. In the forest 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 abode is especially great among them. Since that which is named 惭腻迟丑耻谤补ka is solely dear to 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, therefore in the three worlds the earth is blessed. His own abode, named the region of 惭腻迟丑耻谤补, is superior; it is a concealed, multiform place, situated within a city. The 惭腻迟丑耻谤补 region is of the form of a thousand-petalled lotus. Due to the roaming about of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻鈥檚 disc, the wonderful abode of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 (has come about). Its pericarp and petals are extensive, and has sprung up with secret trees.

15b-23a. The twelve groves are important. In the order of importance they are: Bhadra, 艢r墨, Loha, Bh膩峁囜笉ira, 惭补丑腻, 罢腻濒补, Khad墨raka, Bakula, Kumuda, 碍腻尘测补, Madhu(vana) and 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补. They are twelve in number. Seven of them are (situated) in the west of 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨. The five on the east are (together) called 笔补帽肠补惫补苍补 (i.e. the five groves). There is a great, secret grove called Gokula and also Madhu(vana)-痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补. This latter is called the place of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 sport-delight. (Then there are:) Kadamba, 碍丑补峁囜笉补苍补, Nandavana, Nandi艣vara, Nandanandanakha峁囜笉a, 笔补濒腻艣补, 础艣辞办补, 碍别迟补办墨, Sugandham膩nasa, Kaila, 础尘峁泃补, the place of his eating (food); Sukhapras膩dhana, Vatsahara峁嘺, 艢e峁�a艣膩yika; the village 艢y膩map奴rvodadhi, so also the city Cakrabh膩nu; 厂补峁僰别迟补, Dvipada, dusty due to the sports of children; K膩madruma, Sulalita and the grove Utsuka. It is a place of the enjoyment of pastimes of various kinds, so also of the enjoyment of many sports; N膩gavist膩ravi峁ａ弓ambha (literally, stopping of the expanse of the serpent), and having secret trees growing in it.

23b-51. The great place called Gokula is the thousand-petalled lotus. The great place in it, its pericarp, is the excellent abode of Govinda on a golden seat and is adorned with a golden pavilion. The petals have sprung up in (i.e. from) the pericarp in due order in the (main) directions and intermediate directions. The petal which is said (to be situated) in the south is the best and the best among the best (i.e. most) secret places. In that petal is a great seat inaccessible to the Vedic and sacred texts. It is difficult to obtain even for the lords of the meditating saints, is the soul of all, and is Gokula. In the south-east there is the second petal, a secret petal. It is 厂补峁僰别迟补, Dvipada; in that region two huts are situated. In the east there is the third petal, an excellent and chief place. It is said to be hundred times more meritorious than the contact with all holy places like 骋补峁単腻. In the north-east is the fourth petal, and the place is on the seat of the inspired sages. A cowherdess would obtain 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 as her husband at that place due to her worshipping 碍腻迟测腻测补苍补. It is said that snatching off of the garments and ornaments (of the cowherdesses) took place there. In the north is said (to exist) the fifth petal, the best of all petals. Here itself is the petal resembling 碍补谤峁噄办腻 (literally, the pericarp), called 顿惫腻诲补艣腻诲颈迟测补 (i.e. having twelve suns). In the north-west is the sixth petal. K膩l墨hrada is said (to be situated) there. It is said to be the best of the best petals, and the chief place. In the west is said (to exist) the seventh petal, the best of all petals. It gives the desired boons to the groups of the wives of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. Here even a demon obtained salvation difficult to be obtained by gods. Here only is the petal called Brahmadala deluding 叠谤补丑尘腻. In the south-east is said (to exist) the eighth petal (called) Vyomagh膩tana. The killing of 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚 took place there. It is the place of the enjoyment of many sports. The eighth petal is well-known, and is said to be situated within the 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补-forest. The glorious 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 is on the south of 驰补尘耻苍腻. There is seen the place of 艢颈惫补-phallus, called Gop墨艣vara. Outside it is the sixteenth petal, glorious and full of beauty, which, due to going round it in order, is said (to exist) in all directions. It is a great place, a great abode, named Svadh膩m膩dhava. The first petal is the greatest, and its greatness is like 碍补谤峁噄办腻 (the pericarp). There is the 碍补谤峁噄办腻 on the Govardhana mountain which is lovely and is ever the abode of pleasure, is a grove full of great sports where 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 would be the lord of the Nityav峁沶d膩k膩nana. 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 became (there) a cowkeeper. What is the use of further talking much? The third petal is called Sarva艣re峁ａ弓hottamottama. The fourth petal is called 惭补丑腻dbhutarasasthala. There is the beautiful grove (called) 狈补苍诲墨艣惫补谤补, and there is said (to exist) abode of Nanda. The fifth petal is called 碍补谤峁噄办腻dalam膩h膩tmya. Here 骋辞辫腻濒补 (i.e. 碍峁涐梗峁嘺) engaged in tending the cows, dwells. There, which is said to be the sixth petal, is said (to exist) Nandavana. The seventh lovely petal is called Bakul膩ra峁噛a. The eighth is 罢腻濒补vana where the cows were killed. The ninth charming petal is called Kumud膩ra峁噛a. The tenth (called) K膩m膩ra峁噛a is the chief and the cause of all. There is Brahmapras膩dhana (lit. decoration of 叠谤补丑尘腻), and the manifestation of the disguise of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. It is the place of the pleasures of (i.e. due to) 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 sports, and is said to be preeminent. The eleventh petal is called Bhakt膩nugrahak膩ra峁嘺. A bridge is constructed here; and the place is full of many groves. The twelfth lovely and charming petal is 叠丑腻峁囜笉墨谤补; there 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 was engaged in sports and was surrounded by 艢谤墨诲腻尘补苍 etc. The thirteenth best petal is known as Bhadravara. The fourteenth petal is called Sarvasiddhipradasthala. There is 艢谤墨惫补苍补, which is charming, and is the cause of all splendour; it has a part of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 sports and enhances glory, beauty and fame. The fifteenth excellent petal is known as Lohavana. The petal resembling 碍补谤峁噄办腻 is said to be the sixteenth petal.

52-55. There is said to be a secret, excellent, great grove. (碍峁涐梗峁嘺) surrounded by keepers of calves (i.e. young cowherds) is engaged in child-sports. The murder of 笔奴迟补苍腻 etc. and the breaking of twin Arjuna trees (took place) there. The young 骋辞辫腻濒补, five years old, the ocean of love, joy and pleasure, and called 顿腻尘辞诲补谤补, lives there. This is said to be a well-known petal, and best and excellent of all petals. The sport of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 (takes place here). It is called Ki帽jalk墨vih膩radala. It is also called Siddhapradh膩naki帽jalka.

笔腻谤惫补迟墨 said:

56. I desire to hear the importance and the wonderful secret of V峁沶d膩ra峁噛a. O great lord, narrate it.

The lord said:

57-59. O most beloved one, I have told you the best, greatest mystery, the secret of secrets, and the rare of the rare. O goddess, it is watched over in the three worlds, and well-honoured by the lord of gods. It is desired by 叠谤补丑尘腻 and others; the place is resorted to by gods and inspired sages. The best among the meditating saints are devotedly always intent upon meditation on it only. There is the continuous singing and dancing of gandharvas and celestial damsels.

60-69. The glorious 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 is charming and is an abode of complete joy and pleasure. There are many desire-yielding gems; and the water is full of the taste of nectar. The big tree there is surrounded by Kadamba trees. There is the lady 尝补办峁�m墨, the man 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, produced from the tenth part of it. There (one sees) 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, of the age of a boy, always of a joyful figure, walking dramatically, with a face having continuous sweet but indistinct talk, with the forest resorted to by devotees of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, of a pure nature, and full of love, engaged in the joy of the complete Brahman, full of the thoughts about him; being inspired by his image; (the forest was) charming due to the sweet notes and humming of the intoxicated cuckoos andbees, having the music of pigeons and parrots, with thousands of intoxicated bees, rich with the dance of the enemies of serpents (i.e. peacocks), full of all amorous joyful sports; it was full of the pollen of flowers of various colours; it had the full moon always rising, and served with the sun having cold rays; it was without misery, free from grief, and old age and death. It was free from anger, free from jealousy, unbroken (i.e. complete) and without ego; it had the nectar of full joy; it was the ocean of full love and happiness. The great abode was beyond (all) qualities and was of the nature of full love, where due to horripilation tears were shed by trees etc.; then what can be said about 痴颈峁ａ箛耻鈥檚 devotees having consciousness! It was 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 on the earth due to the constant contact with the dust of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 feet.

70-78. The 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 is the seed-vessel of the lotus having a thousand petals, by the touch of which the earth is blessed in the three worlds. On the earth 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 is a greater secret than a secret (i.e. the greatest secret) and a charming (place). It is an inexhaustible, unchangeable abode of Govinda, containing greatest joy. It is non-different from Govinda鈥檚 body, and is the abode of the joy of (reaching) the complete Brahman. There salvation is had by the touch of the dust(-particles). What can be said about its importance? Therefore, O queen, by all means, keep in mind that forest. In the 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 parks, (one sees) K峁涐梗na having a boy鈥檚 body. K膩lindi went round its pericarp. The water of 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨 is pleasant due to sports, is deep, and attractive due to fragrance; it was mixed with the nectar of joy; it is the dense place of honey; it is bright with many colours due to flowers like lotuses and blue lotuses. The water is lovely; it looks beautiful with birds like the ruddy geese with various sweet and indistinct notes; it is very lovely due to the waves. On both of its sides (there is a pericarp) which is lovely and fashioned with pure gold, said to be a crore times more meritorious than 骋补峁単腻 (骋补峁単腻ko峁璱gu峁嘺). In the pericarp (碍补谤峁噄办腻) there is the Ko峁璱gu峁嘺 where 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 is engaged in sports. 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨, 碍补谤峁噄办腻 and 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 are not different from one another. They (just) have one body.

笔腻谤惫补迟墨 said:

79. O you not having a beautiful body, I desire to listen to the wonders of Govinda. O you treasure of compassion, tell (them to me).

The lord said:

80-107. In 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 adorned with lovely sprouts and beautified with the foliage of the branches of good trees extending over a yojana, in a charming abode there is a very bright seat for abstract meditation. It is fashioned with eight angles and is charming due to various lustres. On it is an auspicious throne (decked) with rubies. There is an eight-petalled lotus lying comfortably in the pericarp. It is the great abode of Govinda. How can its greatness be described? A man should meditate upon 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 who is served by the group of cowherdesses remaining in (i.e. following) the advice of Govinda (i.e. 碍峁涐梗峁嘺) who has the (proper) age and form for the divine station of the cowherds, who is the lord of 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补, who is the chief of the station of the cowherds, who always has splendour, who alone is dear to the children of the station of the cowherds, whose childhood has broken into youth due to age, whose body is wonderful, who is without a beginning but is the origin of all, who is the dear son of the cowherd Nanda, who is to be sought after through the sacred texts, who is unborn, who is always charming to the cowherdesses, who is the highest abode, who is the highest form, who has two arms, who is the lord of the station of the cowherdesses, who is the son of a cowherdess, who is the only cause of the qualityless (Brahman), who is very glorious, who is fresh and pure, who has a dark lustre, who is charming, who is much glistening like the row of fresh clouds, who is pleasing to touch due to his great loveliness like a fully opened blue lotus, who gives comfort, who is glossy like the heap of collyrium that is expanded and is dark and attractive, whose entire (set of) hair is very glossy, dark, curly and fragrant, who is charming due to the dark lock of hair and the right part over it, who is bright on account of many colours and adorned with bright feathers of peacocks, who has on his crest a charming string of 尘补苍诲腻谤补 (flowers), who has put on lovely ornaments, who is at times adorned with a crown made with a multitude of big leaves, who at times has the ornament of a crown made with many gems and rubies, who is covered with unsteady hair, whose face is like a crore of bright moons, who has put on (his forehead) the mark of musk, who has been (smeared) with bright, charming yellow pigment made from the urine or bile of a cow, whose eyes are long like very long petals, having the beauty of fully opened blue lotuses, in whose smile the creeper-like eyebrows dance (i.e. move) closely, and the sight is (i.e. the eyes are) charming, the tip of whose nose is charming on account of its beauty due to its being very beautiful and rising, who entices the three worlds with the rays of the pearls supposed to be found in the projection on the foreheads of elephants on the tip of his nose, who is lovely on account of his red and glossy lower lip resembling red lead, who puts on ear-rings resembling the shape of crocodiles and made of pure bright gold and of many colours, and the good cheeks of whom have the resemblance with mirrors due to the heap of rays of (i.e. shooting from) them (i.e. the ear-rings), on whose ears are placed 尘补苍诲腻谤补 and lotuses and who is well-adorned with chaplets of the shape of ' crocodiles, who has on his chest the (mark of) 艢谤墨惫补迟蝉补 and Kaustubha, whose neck shines with a necklace of pearls, round whose arm are the bracelets and armlets with divine rubies shining and mixed with lovely gold, whose waist is adorned with small bells, whose beautiful feet are adorned with the beauty of sweet(-jingling) anklets, (on whose body) sandal etc. looks bright with camphor, agaru (sandal) and musk, who is painted with divine fragrant unguents mixed with a bright yellow pigment made from cow鈥檚 urine or bile, who is shining with soft, yellow garment and with whose feet the collyrium is disturbed, whose lotus-like navel is deep, whose chaplet is depressed in the line of hair, whose pair of knees is quite round, who is lovely due to his lotus-like feet, whose palms and soles are adorned with (signs of) flag, diamond, gold and lotus, who having the row of rays shooting from his nails is the only cause of the complete Brahman. Some say that the unique supreme spirit, Brahman, is his portion; the wise ones say that 惭补丑腻vi峁ａ箛u is his tenth part; that one alone, who has three modes and who is fashioned with the essence of (materials required to) fashion all good things, is thought of in their hearts by the best meditating saints like Sanaka, who is lovely (as he has) vanquished innumerable crores of Cupids due to his neck that is turned (to a side), whose golden ear-rings shine when he has put his fine cheek on his left shoulder, whose smile is accompanied by a side-glance, who deludes the three worlds with the sweet, indistinct notes of his flute put between the contracted lips, who is drowned in the ocean of love.

笔腻谤惫补迟墨 said:

108-115. O lord, tell me everything about the highest cause 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, the highest position called 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, the lord of 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补, the eternal one, and the only cause of the qualityless (Brahman); tell me the importance of each secret, about the lovely wonder. O lord of lords, I desire to hear it.

The lord said:

O goddess, how much can be said about the greatness of him, the knowledge of whose moon-like rays cannot be had? Listen joyfully. In the innumerable crores of the universes, in the rise of the infinite (笔谤补办峁泃颈) with three constituents, 叠谤补丑尘腻, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, and 艢颈惫补 are equal to the parts of the measure of a croreth of a croreth of his feet. (These) arising from him are endowed with creation, maintenance, and destruction. The bodies of Cupid are the parts equal to the portion of a croreth of a croreth of his form. Born of his a峁囜笉膩ntara(?) they entice the world. 叠谤补丑尘腻 is (made of) a part equal to a croreth of a croreth of the lustre shining in his body. The forms of the sun are the partial rays equal to a croreth of a croreth of his light. Those of the form of rays which are a croreth of a croreth of his portion live due to rays of his body which are the nectar of great joy, which are of the nature of highest bliss and intelligence, and which are the only cause of the qualityless Brahman.

116-118. They say that the lustres of the gem-like (crescent) moon(-shaped) nails of his two feet are even the cause of the complete Brahman, difficult to be understood by the Vedas. (The fragrance) enticing the universe is but a part which cannot be measured (i.e. is negligible) of his fragrance; and the various fragrances are produced from the fragrance etc. of the flowers touched by him. The first (primordial) matter is 搁腻诲丑颈办腻, dear to 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. 顿耻谤驳腻 and others having the three constituents are a part equal to a croreth of croreth portion of her. The excellent 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 is produced from the touch of the dust of her feet.
