Çré Vraja-réti-cintämaëi

            One time a contrary fawn-eyed gopé left Çré Kåñëa. A short time
            afterwards She saw a snake on the road. Frightened, She took shelter
            of Lord Kåñëa, embracing Him and begging for protection. As Lord
            Hari's best servant, Govardhana Hill made all these nectarean
            arrangements for His pastimes.
               Note: This verse may also be translated in the following way:

            Rejected by a certain contrary fawn-eyed gopé, Çré Kåñëa said: "I
            have just been bitten by one of Govardhana Hill's snakes." When
            the gopé heard this, She became repentant, and came before the
            Lord with many apologies. As Lord Hari's best servant, Govardhana
            Hill made all these arrangements for His pastimes.
