<strong>The</strong> <strong>Thousand</strong> <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Names</strong> <strong>of</strong> Lord Viñëu<br />

Våndävana, Kåñëa made them drink the nectar <strong>of</strong> His charming,<br />

clever words, His sweet, gentle smiles and His merciful sidelong<br />

glances; puñpahäsa – as He joked with the gopés, His smile was as<br />

charming as a flower; prajägara – He stayed awake for an entire night<br />

<strong>of</strong> Brahmä enjoying the pastimes <strong>of</strong> the räsa dance; ürdhvaga –<br />

during the räsa dance with the beautiful and wonderfully qualified<br />

gopés, Kåñëa was so splendidly handsome He made Kämadeva seem<br />

like a fool; satpathäcära – the gopés love Him with pure hearts,<br />

completely free from any material motive; präëada – Kåñëa, the life<br />

<strong>of</strong> all that lives, gave everything, even Himself, to try to reward the<br />

gopés, who had given up everything for His sake; praëava – in this<br />

way He demonstrated that pure love for Him is the most<br />

praiseworthy and valuable quality that anyone can attain; paëa –<br />

Kåñëa, who knows the actual value <strong>of</strong> everything, gave the greatest<br />

value to the gopés’ pure love for Him.<br />
