Sri Krsna's playful pastime (vihara)

One day, the supremely playful Sri Krsna was sitting in the shade under the trees on the northen bank of this lake, together with the gopis, and was laughing and joking with vinodini Sri Radhika. At that time, many monkeys from nearby places descended from the trees, being attracted by Krsna's sweet beauty. They respectfully bowed at His lotus feet, sang in joy, jumped and danced. Several monkeys took very long leaps from trees on the sourthern bank of the lake and landed near His lotus feet, and Bhagwan Sri Krsna praised their bravery. Watching this amzaing pastime charmed the gopis. They began to describe the astonishing pastimes of Bhagwan Sri Ramacandra and said that He received help from monkeys. At that time Lalita said," We have heard that in Treta-yuga the greatly powerful Hanuman crossed the ocean in one leap, and today we are seeing with our own eyes monkeys crossing this lake in one single jump."
