By Sri Narayana Rsi
O Narada, after going a short distance they saw the beautiful asrama of Radha, who is the queen of the rasa dance, the queen of the demigods, the best of the gopis, and She who to Lord Krsna is more dear than life, a beautiful, beautiful asrama that was completely indescribable, that no great pandita could describe, that was a great circle of six gavyutis (Note: A gavyuti is equal to two miles) that had a hundred palaces, shone with the splendour of many jewels, was made of the best of the best of priceless jewels, was beautiful with many impassable deep moats, filled with a hundred flower gardens and many kalpa-vrksa trees, constructed with many jewels, surrounded by great walls and was made with jewel benches and seven wonderful jewel gates, O sage, a series of seven gates that led, one after the other, to a place of sixteen gates. Gazing at this great wall as tall as a thousand bows and splendidly beautiful with many small jewel domes, the (three) demigods became filled with wonder.
