NEXT MORNING AT DAYBREAK BRAJABASHIS BEGAN TO DEPART FOR PRABAS
The Brajabashis now, having realised Radha’s divine energy of illuminating the darkness, began to pay homage to her as a goddess. They became very humble and respectful to Radhika.
Radhika, seeing the alteration in their behaviour towards her, cast a spell with a half-smile on her face. That caused the people to forget all about what she had done. They were now back to their original selves.
This night was generally called Krishna Trayodarshi (thirteenth day in the Hindu lunar month when the moon could be seen just before daybreak). As soon as they saw the moon everyone began their journey toward Prabas, chanting ‘Krishna, Krishna’.
The Brajabashis were engaged with only one thought. That was to see Krishna. There was no idle talk among the travellers. They toiled along. No one ever complained of fatigue from their incessant walking, which was less exhausting because of Radha, who took the heat from the Sun.
It took three days for the Brajabashis to arrive at Prabas. At noon on Amavasya day, the solar eclipse began in the sky above. At Prabas there was liveliness with commotion and excitement. At this time, all the Brajabashis arrived at the massive main entrance door of the castle.
