RĀDHĀ STEALS KRSNA'S FLUTE

Stealing the flute away from an unwary Krsna, Radha slips it to Her sakhis and makes signs for them to hide it. Krsna runs from tree, to nook, to cranny, and from one sakhi to another, trying to locate His flute. Śrī Rādhika and Her sakhis are greatly amused and joyfully laugh as Krsna goes from one to the other, begging for His flute.

The sakhis laugh and make witty remarks that the most attractive Krsna tries to counter by jokes and teasing rebuttals. Finally, after much fun and hunting, the sakhis return the flute to Krsna. Then Radha and Krsna followed by the sakhis enter the part of the forest where the groves of tree bowers are perennially in the bloom of spring..
