VIRAJĀ. A cow-herdess. Once Śrī Kṛṣṇa duped Rādhā and took the cowherdess Virajā to the region of love-plays. A mischievous maid informed Rādhā of this. Rādhā ran to the dancing garden and searched for the couple. Śrī Kṛṣṇa had made himself invisible. So she could not find him. She found out Virajā. Rādhā opened her eyes wide and pretended that she was about to curse her. Virajā was terrified and she melted and became a river; full of anger Rādhā went home. (Devī Bhāgavata, Skandha 9).
