SWAYYA
Once Krishna, taking Udhava alongwith him, came to the house of Kubja
Kubja seeing Krishna coming, advanced and welcomed him, thereby getting great happiness
She bowed at the feet of Krishna and became so much pleased in her mind, just as the peacock is pleased on seeing the clouds.986.
Her abode is extremely beautiful, having paintings of red colour
There the sandalwood, aggar, trees of Kadamb and earthen lamps were also seen
There is a handsome sleeping couch, on which a fancy bed hs been spread
Kubja greeted Krishna with folded hands and got him seated on the couch.987.
DOHRA
Then she brought a seat studded with jewels and requested Udhava to sit on it.988.
SWAYYA
Udhava said to Kubja that he had noticed her extremely profound love
He added that he was very lowly and poor and could not sit in front of Lord Krishna
Feeling glory of Krishna, he put the seat aside and holding the feet of Krishna in his hands with affection, he sat down on the earth.989.
The feet, which could not be attained by Sheshanaga, Shiva, the sun and the moon and whose glory has been narrated in Vedas, Puranas etc.
Those feet, on which the adepts meditate in their trance, now Udhava is pressing those feet with great affection.990.
The saints who develop extremely on the spiritual plane, they only endure the Glory of Lord’s feet
Those feet, which are not observed in the meditation by the impatient Yogis,
And whose mystery has not been understood by Brahma, Indra, Sheshanaga etc., those lotus-feet are now being pressed by Udhava with his hands.991.
On this side Udhava is pressing the feet of Krishna, on the other side the female gardener Kubja bedecked herself
She wore the comfort-giving precious stones like rubies, gems etc.,
And applying the mark on the forehead and putting vermilion in the parting of the hair, she went and sat near Krishna
Seeing her beauty and elegance, Krishna was very much pleased in his mind.992.
After bedecking herself, the female gardener Kubja went to Krishna and appeared the second manifestation of Chandarkala
Feeling the distress of the mind of Kubja, Krishna pulled her towards himself
Kubja also sitting in the embrace of Krishna abandoned her shyness and all her hesitations ended.993.
When Krishna caught hold of the arm of Kubja, she felt extreme delight
She said audibly, “O Krishna! you have met me after many days
“I have rubbed the sandal on my limbs for thy sake, O the hero of Yadavas, for your pleasure and now on meeting you, I have attained the objective of my mind.”994.
End of the description of “Fulfilling the objective of Kubja on going to her house” in Bachittar Natak.
Now begins the description of Krishna’s visit to the house of Akrur
SWAYYA
After imparting pleasure to Kubja, then Krishna went to the house of Akrur hearing about his arrival, he came to fall at his feet
When he was lying at the feet of Krishna, seeing him, he said to Udhava, “The love of the saints of this type is also profound, I have felt it.”995.
Krishna said to Udhava, “Seeing the love of Akrur, I have become conscious of the love of Kubja
Seeing this and reflecting on this Udhava said, “He is exhibiting so much love, before which the love of Kubja is insignificant.”996.
