hell with the shawl. I won't go as my child cries so much! Hey my son, what do you lack? Many shawls shall come and go." But the incident was not yet closed because someone had gone to Radharani and told her that her parrot Krishna was defaming her in front of his mother. His beloved Radha thought, "Now that I have been branded a thief I will steal something". So when Kanhaiya was napping in the forest she stole his flute. When he awoke he found the flute was missing. So, when his beloved was frolicking in the water he went and stole her garland hanging on the branch of a tree. Radharani blew into his flute; Shyam Sunder adorned himself with her garland. Now the beloved was in a fix and went and told him, "Look if someone sees this, what will they say? Why are you wearing my garland? Return it!" Kanhaiya said, ''But it is you who have stolen my flute!"
So, the beloved returned the flute and he returned the garland. After this Radharani was overcome with emotions and in the state of reverie went to her friend and said, “Lalita, a transcendental incident has occured." "What was it?" Lalita asked.
Main Muralidhar ki Murali lai, meri lai Muralidhar maalaa.
"Oh, so you took his flute and he your garland. Oh, it is alright this happens everyday. What happened then?" She said,
Main Murali adharaan dhari, gar maanjh dhari Muralidhar maalaa “I brought the flute to my lips as Muralidhar placed the garland around his neck." "So, what happened next? she asks,
Main Muralidhar ki Murali dayi, meri dayi Muralidhar maalaa. “I gave his flute back and he gave back my garland.”
Lalita was irritated. She said, “What is so transcendental about it? You took the flute, he took the garland. You played the flute, he wore the garland. You returned the flute, he gave back the garland. There is nothing exceptional about it. What a stupid incident you narrate!" Radharani said, "Oh, nothing happened until then. What happened, happened after this." Lalita said, "Oh, so what occurred, occurred later. What was it?" She said, "Something happened during that moment when he returned the garland and I returned the flute." "What was that?"
Main Muralidhar ki Murali dayi Meri dayi Muralidhar mala.
