the living entity & Krsna

[Guest guest]

CC Adi 4.51.purp.

The transcendental mellow relished by the gopis in Vraja is superexcellently

featured in Srimati Radharani. Mature assimilation of the transcendental

humor of conjugal love is represented by Srimati Radharani, whose feelings

are incomprehensible even to the Lord Himself. The intensity of Her loving

service is the highest form of ecstasy. No one can surpass Srimati Radharani

in relishing the qualities of the Lord through this supreme transcendental

mellow. Therefore the Lord Himself agreed to assume the position of

Radharani in the form of Lord Sri Gauranga. He then relished the highest

position of parakiya-rasa, as exhibited in the transcendental abode of

Vraja.
