KRSNA'S PASTIMES WITH RĀDHĀ

Whenever Śrimati Rādhārāni leaves Her house, She is always well dressed and attractive. It is Her womanly nature to attract Sri Krsna's attention, and upon seeing Her so attractively dressed, Śri Krsna desires to touch Her body. The Lord then finds some fault in Her and prohibits Her from going to a river crossing or stops Her from picking flowers. Such are the pastimes between Śrimati Rādhārānī and Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

Being a cowherd girl, Srimati Radharani regularly carries milk in a container and often goes to sell the milk on the other side of the Yamuna. To cross the river, She has to pay the boatman, and the spot where the boatman collects his fares is called the däna-ghați. Lord Sri Krsna stops Her from going, telling Her, "First You have to pay the fee; then You will be allowed to go." This pastime is called däna-keli-līlā. Similarly, if Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī wants to pick a flower, Śri Krsna claims to be the garden's proprietor and prohibits Her. This pastime is called kila-kiñcita. Radharani's shyness arises due to Sri Krsna's prohibitions, and ecstatic loving bodily symptoms called kila-kiñcita-bhāva are manifest at this time.
