“As an independent leader among elephants enters the water with its
female elephants, Krsna, who is transcendental to the Vedic principles of
morality, entered the water of the Yamuna with the gopis. His chest had
brushed against their breasts, crushing His flower garland and coloring it with
red kunkuma powder. Attracted by the fragrance of that garland, humming
bumblebees followed Krsna like celestial beings of Gandharvaloka. In this
way, Lord Krsna mitigated the fatigue of the rasa dance.”
