Oh Paaduka! I recall an instance to establish Your greatness. Krishna

took myriad forms; each one spent his time with one Gopa damsel; while

doing so, he did not ever think of any one else; there were sixteen

thousand damsels engaged by Krishna in as many identical forms; each

would like to prevent Krishna from going out to another, when a game

of dice was being gone through. Each in every home demanded You as the

stake against Krishna leaving in the midst. This, in secret!

 

Namo Narayana,
