"After speaking these words, the ladies of Vraja, who were so

attached to Ka, felt extremely agitated by their imminent separation from

Him. They forgot all worldly shame and loudly cried out,'O Govinda! O

DAmodara! O MAdhava!'"

 

n.b.--(This verse is identical with ZrImad BhAgavatam, 10. 39.31;

it describes the gopIs' reaction to AkrUra's taking KRSNa and BalarAma

away from VRndAvana. The above translation is that of H.H. HRdayAnanda

GosvAmI.)

Sometimes a gopI engages in teaching a parrot in a jewelled

cage, to recite names like: "Ananda-kanda" (source of bliss),

"Vraja-candra" (moon of Vraja), "KRSNa,Govinda,DAmodara," and

"MAdhava."

Along with his priest ZaGkhayuta, King HaMsadhvaja saw his son

falling into a vat, but the boy was chanting the transcendental names of

Hari, Govinda, DAmodara, and MAdhava.

Thus he was saved. His father, the king of Campaka, had given the

order that all of the troops should bathe, put on neck beads and tilaka,

and go to battle to fight Arjuna; he said anyone who disobeyed would be

thrown into hot oil. Prince Sankhayuta became late because of being sent

off by his mother and later his wife. When Hamsadhvaja saw him arrive

late, he thought the prince had ignored his command. This suspicion was

further incited by the envious intrigues of two corrupt ministers, who

then insisted that the king must stick to his word, even with Sankhayuta.

They then forced the prince to jump into boiling oil, but because

Sankhayuta was a great devotee, Krsna turned that hot oil into the cool,

pleasing waters of the Sarayu river (which flows through Ayodhya). The

story of Sankhayuta and his brother Suratha is in Mahabharata.

Accepting DurvAsa Muni's request (that she feed his thousands of

disciples, even though she hadn't the means to do this) DraupadI mentally

called out to the Lord within, the Lord of the forest dwellers, and she

said, "Govinda, DAmodara, MAdhava!"
