Just worship S'rī Gaurahari, who is always affectionate toward
His devotees. He is the same Supreme Godhead, Krishna, who sported in
the cowherd pastures of Vraja and stole the hearts of Nanda and
Yas'odā.
Mother Yas'odā calls to Krishna, "My dear Dāmodara, it is
very late. Please come right now, sit down in the dining hall, and take
Your lunch."
On the direction of Nanda Mahārāja, Krishna, the holder of
Govardhana Hill, sits down, and then all the cowherd boys, along with
Krishna's elder brother, S'rī Baladeva, sit down in rows to take
their lunch.
They are then served a feast of s'uktā and various kinds of green
leafy vegetables, then nice fried things, and a salad made of the green
leaves of the jute plant. They are also served pumpkin, baskets of
fruit, small square cakes made of lentils and cooked-down milk, then
thick yogurt, squash cooked in milk, and vegetable preparations made
from the flower of the banana tree.
Then they receive fried squares of mung dahl patties, and urad dahl
patties, capātīs, and rice with ghee. Next, sweets made
with milk, sugar, and sesamum; rice flour cakes; thick cooked-down
milk; cakes floating in milk; and sweet rice.
There is also sweet rice that tastes just like nectar due to its being
mixed with camphor. There are bananas, and cheese which is nectarean
and delicious. They are also served twelve kinds of sour preparations
made with tamarinds, limes, lemons, oranges, and pomegranates.
There are purīs made with white flour and sugar; purīs
filled with cream; laddus; and dahl patties boiled in sugared rice.
Krishna eagerly eats all of the food.
In great ecstasy and joy Krishna eats the rice, curried vegetables,
sweets, and pastries cooked by S'rīmatī
Rādhārānī.
Krishna's funny brāhmana friend Madhumangala, who is very fond of
laddus, gets them by hook or by crook. Eating the laddus, he shouts,
"Haribol! Haribol!" and makes a funny sound by slapping his sides under
his armpits with his hands.
Beholding Rādhārānī and Her gopī friends
out of the corners of His eyes, Krishna eats at the house of mother
Yas'odā with great satisfaction.
After lunch, Krishna drinks rose-scented water. Then all of the boys,
standing in lines, wash their mouths.
After all the cowherd boys wash their hands and mouths, in great bliss
they take rest with Lord Balarāma.
The two cowherd boys Jambula and Rasāla then bring Krishna
pān made with betel nuts, fancy spices, and catechu. After eating
that pān, S'rī Krishnacandra then happily goes to sleep.
While Krishna happily takes His rest on an excellent bedstead, His
servant Vis'ālāksha cools Him with a fan of peacock
feathers.
At mother Yas'odā's request the gopī Dhanishthhā
brings remnants of food left on Krishna's plate to S'rīmatī
Rādhārānī, who eats them with great delight.
Lalitā-devī and the other gopīs then receive the
remnants, and within their hearts they sing the glories of
Rādhārānī and Krishna with great joy.
Thhākura Bhaktivinoda, whose one and only joy is the pastimes of
Lord Hari, sings this Bhoga-ārati song.
