II. A Gopikā. Śrī Kṛṣṇa was one day picnicking in Vṛndāvana with the Gopi women, and they were proud that he was mad after them. To dispel their pride Kṛṣṇa disappeared abruptly from their midst and sported with the woman called Nilā. Then she also became proud that Kṛṣṇa loved her more than the others, and she asked him to carry her on his shoulders. He stood there ready stretching his neck to carry her. But, when she stood with her legs parted to mount on Kṛṣṇa’s neck and looked for him he was missing; he already disappeared. The Gopikās ultimately shed their pride and then Kṛṣṇa appeared before them.
