But looking closer one can find the highest transcendence attained not through grinding austerity but through love so real and complete that everything else simply fell away. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Three \u2014 the R\u0101sa Dance itself. Krishna expands between each pair of gop\u012bs. The demigods crowd the sky. The gop\u012bs sing, creating sixteen thousand musical ragas. R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b, tired from the dance, places her arm around Krishna's shoulder. His arm carries the fragrance of blue lotus and sandalwood. Her hair stands on end. She kisses his arm. This beautiful scene is what Vy\u0101sadeva was told to meditate on and share with the world.
