The five types of liberation are: (1) to become one with the
Lord, (2) to live on the same planet as the Lord, (3) to obtain
the same bodily features as the Lord, (4) to have the same
opulences as the Lord and (5) to have constant association
with the Lord.
(sälokya—living on the same planet; särñöi—having the same
opulence; sämépya—to be a personal associate; särüpya—
having the same bodily features)
Direct rasas:
1. The sages became rapt in meditation (çänta)
2. The menial servants danced (däsya)
3. Kåñëa's friends smiled broadly (sakhya, hasya)
4. His mother wept warm tears (vatsalya, compassion)
5. The girls gazed at Kåñëa from the corner of their black eyes
(madhurya)
Indirect rasas:
6. The demoniac priests curled their lips in distaste
(ghastliness)
7. The great wrestlers became red (anger)
8. The great demons became devastated (dread)
9. The chivalrous fighters became excited (chivalry)
10. The leaders of the demigods become struck with wonder
(astonishment)
The thing is that she would have had to give up her position
as the big Goddess of Fortune, and then become a gopi in
Våndävana and learn how to serve Kåñëa in that way. She
would have had to take birth...Just see what it would have
meant. She would have had to take birth in the womb of a
gopi, she would have had to take birth as a baby in
Vrindavana. She would have had to grow up in a cowherd
family. Then she would have had to get married to somebody.
Then she would have had to cheat her husband, cheat her
elders and cheat her relatives and meet Krsna. She wasn't
prepared. It was too much.
