The Nectar of Devotion
38. Наррү
Any person who is always joyful and untouched by any distress is called happy.
As far as Krṣṇa’s enjoyment is concerned, it is stated that the ornaments which decorated the bodies of Krṣṇa and His queens were beyond the dreams of Kubera, the treasurer of the heavenly kingdom. The constant dancing before the doors of Krṣṇa’s palaces was not to be imagined even by the demigods in the heavenly kingdom. In the heavenly kingdom, Indra always sees the dancing of the society girls. But even Indra could not imagine how beautiful were the dances being performed at the gates of Krṣṇa’s palaces.  Gaurī  means white woman, and Lord Śiva’s wife is called Gaurī. The beautiful women residing within the palaces of Krṣṇa were so much whiter than Gaurī that they were compared to the moonshine, and they were constantly visible to Krṣṇa.

And all of these things were fabulously present in the palaces of Krṣṇa, defeating even the imagination of Kubera, Lord Indra or Lord Śiva.
Not even a slight distress can touch Krṣṇa. Once some of the  gopīs  went to the place where the  brāhmaṇas  were performing sacrifices and said, “My dear wives of the  brāhmaṇas , you must know that not even a slight smell of distress can touch Krṣṇa. He knows no loss, He knows no defamation, He has no fear, He has no anxiety, and He does not know calamity. He is simply encircled by the dancers of Braja and is enjoying their company in the  rāsa  dance.”
39.  Well-wisher of his Devotees
It is said of Kṛṣṇa’s devotees that if they offer even a little water or a  tulasī  leaf in devotion to Lord Viṣṇu, Lord Viṣṇu is so kind that He will sell Himself to them.
Krṣṇa’s favoritism towards His devotees was exhibited in His fight with Bhīṣma. When Grandfather Bhīṣma was lying at the point of death on the bed of arrows, Krṣṇa was present before him, and
