Having received no news of her Gopal (Krishna), Yasoda once came to Radha
and asked her if she had any news from him. At that time Radha was in a deep trance, and so did not
hear Yasoda.
Subsequently, when her trance was over, she saw Yasoda, the queen of Nanda, sitting
before her. Bowing down to her at once, Radha asked Yasoda the reason of her visit, and when
Yasoda stated the reason, she said, ‘Mother, shut your eyes and meditate upon the form of Gopala,
and you will be able to see him.” And as soon as Yasoda shut her yes, Radha, who was herself the
very essence of spiritual feelings (Bhava), overwhelmed her with her power, and in that superconscious
mood, Yasoda saw her Gopala. Then Yasoda asked this boon of Radha, ” Mother, grant me that I may
see my beloved Gopala whenever I close my eyes.
