Sri Vraja Mandala Parikrama
Mäna-garh is a very attractive place on top of Brahmäcalaparvata. Çrématé Rädhikä displayed mäna, or a sulky mood, here, but rasika Kåñëa very skilfully broke it. One day, Çré Kåñëa sent a message to Çrématé Rädhikä through Subala, who is one of His priya-narma-sakhäs, and through Våndädevé that They should meet at a certain time. Kåñëa was on His way when He suddenly met Padmä, Candrävalé’s friend. Padmä described Çrématé Candrävalé’s state of separation from Him and repeatedly requested Him to meet with her. Çré Kåñëa could not ignore her plea, and went to Candrävalé’s kuïja for what He intended to be a short time. However, He became so absorbed in sweet talks and playful pastimes with Candrävalé that He forgot everything else, and the time for the arranged meeting with Çrématé Rädhikä elapsed. Meanwhile, one of Çrématé Rädhikä’s well-trained female parrots (särés) arrived on a tree in the same kuïja. The parrot returned to Çrématé Rädhikä and told Her all the details of Çré Kåñëa and Candrävalé’s sweet conversations and playful pastimes. Rädhikä became deeply distressed and went into a mäna that was very difficult to break. Within Her heart, She firmly resolved that She had no need for such an insolent Kåñëa; so when Çré Kåñëa finally arrived, long after the appointed meeting time, Çrémätijé turned Her face away from Him. Seeing Her unwavering mäna, Çré Kåñëa tried to appease Her through all kinds of means and tricks, but Her mäna would not break. Becoming hopeless and feeling sad, Kåñëa left that place. On the road He met Viçäkhä, who advised Him to disguise Himself as a new sakhé playing a véëa. He went to Çrématé Rädhikä together with Viçäkhä, who introduced this new sakhé as Çyämä Sakhé. Viçäkhä profusely praised Çyämä Sakhé’s ability to play the véëa and sing, as well as all Her other skills. Çrématé Rädhikä seated this new sakhé next to Her with great honour and respect. Upon hearing Her exceptional singing, She became filled with delight and embraced Her. Çrématé Rädhikä recognised Her beloved merely by His touch; and as soon as She had done so, Her mäna was broken. Surrounded by Her friends, She now became absorbed in beautiful pastimes with the beloved of Her life. deva gandharva ramyäya rädhä mäna-bidhäyine mäna-mandira saìjïäya namaste ratna-bhümaye Ädi-varäha Puräëa In Mäna-garh, one can also have darçana of Mäna Mandira, a swing, a räsa-maëòala and Ratnäkara-sarovara. Just near Mänagarh to the south is the village of Mänapurä, which reminds one of all these pastimes.
