Bhagavata Purana Book 10 Chapter 33 Verses 2 - 7:\r\n2. Krsna began the rasa pastime there, in the company of those devoted jewels of women, who linked arms happily together.\r\n3. The festival of rasa dance began, featuring a circle of gopis. The Lord of all yogis, Krsna, inserted himself between each pair of gpois, and he put his arms about their necks. Each woman thought he was at her side only. Meanwhile, the sky was crowded with hundreds of the vehicles of the gods, who were accompanied by their wives and carried away with excitement.\r\n4. Kettledrums resounded the, streams of flowers fell, and the chiefs of the gandharvas amd their wives sang of Krsna's spotless glories.\r\n5. There was a tumultuous sound of bracelets, ankle-braclets and the bells of the young women in the circle of the rasa dance with their beloved.\r\n6. Krsna Bhagavan, the son of Devaki, was radiant in their company, like a great emerald in the midst of golden ornaments.\r\n7. The consorts of Krsna, their braids and belts securely fastened, sang about him with hand gestures and dancing feet. Their faces were sweating, their earrings rolling on their cheeks and the garments on their breasts slipping. Their waists were bent, and they smiled, their eyebrows playful. They shone like lightening in a circle of clouds.\r\n\r\n--translated by Edwin F.
