five types of Sakhīs & Messengers One day, Vijaya Kumāra and Vrajanātha took bath in Indradyumna Sarovara, and upon returning to their residence, they honored prasāda together. Vrajanātha then set off to have darśana of Śrī Haridāsa Ṭhākura’s samādhi, while Vijaya Kumāra came before the lotus feet of his Gurudeva at Śrī
Kānta Maṭha. When he saw that the time was appropriate, he posed some questions about Śrīmatī Rādhikā: “Prabhu, Śrī Vṛṣabhānu-nandinī is our be-all and end-all and our very life’s breath. I cannot express it. I do not know why my heart melts when I just hear the name of Śrī Rādhikā. Although Śrī Kṛṣṇa is our only refuge, still I only like to taste the playful pastimes that He performs with Śrī Rādhikā. My mind does not want to hear any kṛṣṇa-kathā that does not mention Śrīmatī Rādhikā’s name or discuss Her pastimes. What can I say? Now I am not at all pleased to introduce myself as Vijaya Kumāra Bhaṭṭācārya. I am overjoyed to call myself Śrī Rādhikā’s pālya-dāsī. Another surprising thing is that I have no desire to speak vraja-līlā-kathā to those who are kṛṣṇa-bahirmukha (reluctant to serve Kṛṣṇa). I want to get up and flee from any assembly where those who are not rasika describe the glories of Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.”
