Radha controls Krishna

[Guest guest]

In this context, the words maya-mrgam indicate the special, exalted

relationship between Srimati Radharani and Sri Krsna. Maya also indicates

the internal potency of Krsna, yoga-maya. The original form of Krsna's

internal potency is Srimati Radharani. Due to the inconceivable love of

Srimati Radharani, Lord Krsna becomes easily controlled by Her. Thus, mrgam,

or "animal" in this case indicates krida-mrgam, or "a toy animal." Just as a

beautiful young girl may play with so many dolls or stuffed animals,

similarly Lord Krsna becomes just like a doll in the hands of the most

beautiful young girl, Srimati-Radharani. According to Srila Jiva Gosvami,

Srimati Radharani performed innumerable types of worship in order to bind

Krsna more and more to Her because Srimati Radharani cannot live without

Krsna. Thus, due to Srimati Radharani's aradhana, or worship, Krsna can

never leave Vrndavana. He runs here and there in Vrndavana, protecting the

cows, playing with His friends and engaging in countless intrigues of love

with Srimati Radharani and the gopis. Thus the word anvadhavat indicates

Krsna's boyish activities, His running throughout the transcendental land of

Vrndavana, tightly under the control of the love of Srimati Radharani.
