"Go quickly to Padmāvatī, to the charming Ratnamālā, or else go to Vanamālā, unequalled in beauty" — thus some spoke to Hari, who stood before (them) smiling. "Having gone near, rise up and remove her offended pride. She by the mere worship of whose feet (one becomes) the supreme mistress of all — that you do not know, good lady; how am I able to say it? He who dwells on Śvetadvīpa, the protector, Viṣṇu himself, the mighty one — he too is a portion of his, and whatever is upheld (by him) is the supreme Imperishable."

Hearing Śrī Kṛṣṇa's words, he, filled with grief, said to him:
