The festive rasa dance conmenced, wich the sops arayed in a circle. Lord Krona expanded Himself and entered between each pair of gopīs, and as that master of mystic power placed
His arms around their necks, each girl thought He was standing next to her alone. The demigods and their wives were overwhelmed with eagerness to witness the rāsa dance, and they soon crowded the sky with their hundreds of celestial airplanes. Kettledrums then resounded in the sky while flowers rained down and the chief Gandharvas and their wives sang Lord Kṛṣṇa's spotless glories. A tumultuous sound arose from the armlets, ankle bells, and waist bells of the gopīs as they sported with their beloved Kṛṣṇa in the circle of the rāsa dance. In the midst of the dancing gopīs, Lord Kṛṣṇa appeared most brilliant, like an exquisite sapphire in the midst of golden ornaments.
