“Lord Kṛṣṇa, the enemy of Kaá¹sa, left aside the other gopÄ«s during the rÄsa dance and took ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī to His heart, for She is the helper of the Lord in realizing the essence of His desires.â€
In this verse from the GÄ«ta-govinda (3.1), Jayadeva GosvÄmÄ« describes ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa’s leaving the rÄsa-lÄ«lÄ to search for ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī.
