ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī is referred to in this verse as kÄcit, “a certain gopÄ«.†To establish that this particular gopÄ« is in fact ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī, ÅšrÄ«la JÄ«va GosvÄmÄ« quotes the following verses from the Agni PurÄṇa:
gopyaḥ papracchur ūṣasi
kṛṣṇÄnucaram uddhavam
harÄ«-lÄ«lÄ-vihÄrÄá¹Å› ca
tatraikÄá¹ rÄdhikÄá¹ vinÄ
rÄdhÄ tad-bhÄva-saá¹lÄ«nÄ
vÄsanÄyÄ virÄmitÄ

vijñÄna-guṇa-já¹›mbhitam
ijyÄnte-vÄsinÄá¹ veda

“At dawn the gopÄ«s inquired from Kṛṣṇa’s servant, Uddhava, about the Lord’s pastimes and recreation. Only ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī, immersed in thought of Kṛṣṇa, withdrew Her interest in the talks. Then RÄdhÄ, who is worshiped by the residents of Her Vá¹›ndÄvana village, spoke up in the midst of Her girlfriends. Her words were full of pure transcendental knowledge and expressed the ultimate portion of the Vedas.â€
In the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (15.15) Lord Kṛṣṇa states, vedaiÅ› ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ: “By all the Vedas, I am to be known.†To know Kṛṣṇa is to love Kṛṣṇa, and thus RÄdhÄrÄṇī, by Her own example and words, revealed Her supreme love for the Lord.
Having quoted the above verses from the Agni PurÄṇa, ÅšrÄ«la JÄ«va GosvÄmÄ« also quotes the following from the Ná¹›siá¹ha-tÄpanÄ« Upaniá¹£ad (PÅ«rva-khaṇá¸a 2.4): yaá¹ sarve devÄ namanti mumuká¹£avo brahma-vÄdinaÅ› ca. “All the demigods and all the transcendental philosophers who desire liberation bow down to the Supreme Lord.†We should follow suit.
