"Wait here, Praneshvari — the jasmine is blossoming now. I will weave you a crown of flowers, such as you have never seen in all your life."
In Dwarka, after long separation, Radhika finally comes to Krishna — into Navavrindavan, an exact replica of Vrindavan built by Vishvakarma. In a beautiful kunja Krishna says to her: "Wait here, Praneshvari. The jasmine is blossoming now — I will go and weave you a crown of flowers. When I left Vrindavan I went to Mathura, and there to the gurukul of Sandipani Muni, and studied sixty-four arts; one of them was how to weave a crown of flowers. I will make you such a crown as you have never seen in all your life. Only wait." And Krishna goes out and begins gathering the flowers for her. As he gathers, he sees a replica of Govardhan set in jewels, and catches his own reflection in it — and how beautiful he is now: for he is wholly absorbed in serving Radha. Krishna looks most beautiful of all when he is absorbed in Radha-seva. So tenderly he gathers for her flower after flower — and, seeing himself, he stops, struck with wonder.
Gather the Name like flowers for her — in serving, you grow beautiful.
