13) Gaṅgā and Rādhā. Gaṅgā is Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa liquified into water. Once in goloka Rādhādevī attempted to drink Gaṅgā dry, who, terror-stricken, hid herself at the feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and the whole world experienced difficulties due to non-availability of water. Śrī Kṛṣṇa came to know of the situation and made Gaṅgā appear again on earth. (Devībhāgavata, Navama Skandha).
