Although the birds sang softly, their singing was not pleasant because it woke up Radha and Krishna. The sakhis watched from a distance the couple wake up; They both had a very fascinating aspect due to the deep love and affection They shared at that moment. Wary of the voice of the monkey, Kakkhati, and eager to stay together, They looked at each other for a long time. Then reluctantly, Radha and Krishna headed to Their respective abodes where, without making a sound, They lay down in Their beds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">I adore Radha and Krishna with the memory of this pastime.
