Dasakam - 68 - Rasakreedai - Gopika Geetham
Krishna appeared before the Gopikas all of a sudden and seeing him, they stood like a statue and fully drowned in the immortal bliss. One of the Gopika took his lotus flower like hand and placed it on her bosom and stood like that for a long time with her body experiencing goosebumps.
One of the gopikas, took his arm and put it around her neck as if she was trying to avoid the vital breath going out of her neck in the pain of separation. One another Gopika, out of her extreme love, without inhibition, took the chewed betel leaf from Krishna's mouth and put it in hers and felt she has attained the supreme bliss.
One of them stood gazing at Krishna with anger in her tearful eyes, as if to ask him the reason for his abandoning of her in the forest. All the gopikas made a seat for Krishna in the banks of river Yamuna with their upper drape tainted with saffron colour. Krishna sat on it with all splendour and shining glory.
Gopikas questioned Krishna as to what type of mercy he is showing to them. While some may show mercy to all, some only to people surrendering to them, Krishna didn't even show compassion to gopikas who gave up house, family, everything for Krishna and surrendered to him.
Krishna smiled at them enchantingly and asked them not to suspect that he is hard-hearted and said that he was afraid of losing their love. He disappeared so that he can make their minds fixed on him continuously. He promised to Gopikas, that none other than them are dear to him and so asked them to enjoy the beautiful moon-lit night along the river Yamuna with him happily without any hurdle.
Gopikas joy found no limit at his declaration and they sported all night along with full of enthusiasm. Bhattadiri prayed to the Lord who had sported Rasaleela, to end his sufferings and was duly acknowledged by Sri Guruvayoorappan.
PS: This is the equivalent of Gopika geetham in Srimad Bhagawatham.
