“On the occasion of a festival Rādhā, wearing a necklace given by Kṛṣṇa, saw nearby Her mother and in front of her, smiling Padmā. At a distance, She saw Kṛṣṇa and Her husband, Abhimanyu. She hung Her head in shame on seeing Her mother, threw crooked glances at Padmā in hatred. Her face blossomed with joy on seeing Kṛṣṇa and withered on seeing Her husband.”
