The ārati is over now.

Svāminī is surrounded by Her girlfriends, sitting on a jewel-studded sofa. She makes jokes with Her girlfriends, but these are not ordinary jokes: nirbhara narma goṣṭhīm.
It is a very funny conversation. While Śrīmatī is absorbed in such a joking discussion Śyāmalā-sakhī comes before Her with a new sakhī.
Seeing her, Śrīmatī asks: “Sakhi Śyāmale! Come, come! Who is that girl with you?”
Śyāmalā says: “This is my friend Navīnā-sakhī! She hasn’t met You yet, but She’s very eager to meet You!”
Svāminī is enchanted when She sees Navīnā-sakhī and stares at her in astonishment, saying: “Aha! You are so beautiful! If you are Śyāmalā’s friend, then you’re also My friend! What’s your name and where do you live?”
Navīnā sakhī says: “My name is Navīnā and I’ve come here with my friend Śyāmalā to see You! From Śyāmalā I have heard about Your matchless form and attributes, so I became very eager to meet You!”
Svāminī’s heart melts when She hears Navīnā’s nice voice and She says: “Do you know how to sing, dance and play musical instruments?”
Navīnā says: “A little bit!”
Svāminī takes Navīnā close to Herself while She exclaims: “Aha! How beautiful your face is! How sweet is your smile and how sweet are your words! Come here, come here! It is just like I’ve seen you somewhere before!”

Then Navīnā-sakhī begins to dance and sing. Aha! How wonderful is her dance! How sweetly she sings and how nicely she moves her eyes and hands! The sakhīs faint of ecstasy when they see it.
Again and again Svāminī says: “Bravo! Well done!” and gives Navīnā a tight hug. But while She embraces Navīnā She feels a familiar shivering over Her own body and that makes Her doubt. Who is this?
Svāminī then pulls the veil from Navīnā’s head and exclaims: “O mā! What is this? This is Kṛṣṇa! Śyāmale! You are so naughty!”

Śyāma and the sakhīs have so much fun then! The sakhīs roll against Each other of laughter. What a wonderful fun they have!

After Śyāma has gone home Tulasī prepares a bed for Svāminī to lie on.
Although all kinds of funny discussions are going on Tulasī does not forget her service.
Devotion consists of service. bhaj ityeṣa vai dhātuḥ sevāyāṁ parikīrtitaḥ.

Devotional service is relishable in all three stages – sādhana bhakti, bhāva bhakti, and prema bhakti.

Compared to that savour everything in this world is tasteless, including sense-gratification (bhukti) and liberation (mukti).
There will be nothing left to want and to get from the material world.

‘I just want to fall at Your lotus feet, stay with them and serve them.’

The kiṅkarīs are the embodiments of the flavours of devotional service. Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but He wants something from these maidservants.
The Lord of the universe stretches His hand out to them. There is nothing as glorious and fortunate as this!

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī said (in Cāṭu Puṣpāñjali, 23):

karuṇāṁ muhur arthaye paraṁ tava vṛndāvana cakravartini
api keśī-ripor yathā bhavet sa caṭu prārthana-bhājanaṁ janaḥ

“O Queen of Vṛndāvana, Śrī Rādhe! I pray for Your mercy again and again, so that even Kṛṣṇa,
the heroic destroyer of the Keśī-demon, will make me the object of His flattering prayers!”

As long as there’s still a whiff of personal desire Rādhā’s service cannot be attained. The maidservants of Śrī Rādhā don’t even dream of their own purposes!
They are the embodiments of the flavour of devotional service, and they always immerse Svāminī and Śyāma in that flavour.
The mañjarīs always throw Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in ever-new pools of transcendental fun.
