TRANSLATION

Srimati Radharani said to Her constant companion Visakha: ““My dear
friend, if Krsna is unkind to Me, there will be no need for you to cry, for it will
not be due to any fault of yours. I shall then have to die, but afterwards please
do one thing for Me: to observe My funeral ceremony, place My body with its
arms embracing a tamila tree like creepers so that | may remain forever in
Vendavana undisturbed. That is My last request.’’ (Vidagdha-madhava 2.47)
