Kṛṣṇa Enters Mathurā: City Splendor, Devotees’ Reception, and the Washerman’s Fate
प्रासादशिखरारूढा: प्रीत्युत्फुल्लमुखाम्बुजा: । अभ्यवर्षन् सौमनस्यै: प्रमदा बलकेशवौ ॥ २९ ॥
prāsāda-śikharārūḍhāḥ prīty-utphulla-mukhāmbujāḥ abhyavarṣan saumanasyaiḥ pramadā bala-keśavau
登上楼阁屋顶、面如莲华因爱而绽放的妇女们,向巴拉罗摩与圣克里希纳洒下如雨的鲜花。
This verse shows that merely seeing Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma filled the women of Mathurā with overflowing joy, expressed by climbing rooftops and showering the Lords with auspicious offerings.
Overcome by affection and happiness on beholding the divine brothers, they expressed reverence and celebration by raining down gifts and auspicious items from above.
It teaches to respond to divine remembrance and darśana with sincere celebration—offering one’s best (time, attention, service) with a joyful heart rather than mere formality.
