In Cc. Srila Prabhupada gives two translations for this verse but also two

references:

 

A.

----------------------------

TRANSLATION

 

"‘Thus Lord Sri Krsna spoke of the sexual activities of the previous night.

In this way He made Srimati Radharani close Her eyes out of shyness. Taking

this opportunity, Sri Krsna painted various types of dolphins on Her

breasts. Thus He became a very expert artist for all the gopis. During such

pastimes, the Lord enjoyed the fulfillment of His youth.'"

 

PURPORT

 

This quotation is also found in the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (2.1.119).

 

>>> Ref. VedaBase => Madhya 8.190

B.

----------------------------

TRANSLATION

 

"Lord Krsna made Srimati Radharani close Her eyes in shame before Her

friends by His words relating Their amorous activities on the previous

night. Then He showed the highest limit of cleverness in drawing pictures of

dolphins in various playful sports on Her breasts. In this way Lord Hari

made His youth successful by performing pastimes in the bushes with Sri

Radha and Her friends."

 

PURPORT

 

This is a verse from the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (2.1.231) of Srila Rupa

Gosvami.

 

>>> Ref. VedaBase => Adi 4.117

----------------------------

 

Thus:

1. Brs. 2.1.231 in Cc. Adi 4.117.

2. Brs. 2.1.119 in Cc. Madhya 8.190

 

According to Dimock's translation of the Cc. and his ®loka Index the

reference is Brs. 2.1.231.

 

What is the correct reference?

 

Thank you very much in advance. Hare Krishna.

Your humble servant,

Rogier.
