Having made the bed conducive to love-making, smeared with flowers and sandal, all her limbs sprinkled with sandal, with the breeze of flowers and sandal... — (her) endowed with the splendour of royal fortune, the presiding deity of royal fortune, her face the full autumn moon, her eyes autumn lotuses; seeing her unobserved and standing on one foot, the lotus-born (Brahmā) came to the supreme Badarikā hermitage to grant a boon. Brahmā said: There is a cowherd named Sudāmā, sprung from the body of Śrīkṛṣṇa; a portion of him, exceedingly brilliant, has taken birth in Bhārata. Tulasī said: As is my longing for the two-armed Kṛṣṇa, the dark and beautiful one — I speak the truth, O father — it is not so for the four-armed one. With gladdened mind the goddess gave up the weariness of her austerity: when the fruit is attained, men's sorrow too becomes the highest joy.
