The rāsa festival began, adorned by the circle of gopīs, with Kṛṣṇa, the lord of yoga, having entered between each pair of them in their midst and taken the women by the neck close to himself — so that they thought the sky was at that moment crowded with hundreds of airborne chariots of the dwellers of heaven, who along with their wives had their minds carried away by eagerness. Then kettledrums resounded, showers of flowers fell, and the chief Gandharvas with their wives sang his spotless glory.
