Bhagvati Yamuna
Maharani Yamuna has the same darkish blue complexion as Krishna. She assists in the playful amorous pastimes of Shri Radha-Krishna Yugal in every respect, and flows on three sides of Vrindavan. To fully support the rasa-vilasa of Priya-Priyatama, she creates countless charming nikunjas on both her banks with various kinds of dense trees and creepers laden with flowers and fruits. She is ornamented and beautified with divine Ghats bedecked with jewels, and with various bowers made from kadamba, tamala, amra, bakula and other types of trees. The Divine Couple Shri Radha-Krishna perform water pastimes and boating pastimes with the sakhis in the waters of Shri Yamuna. This water is saturated with prema and is always decorated with seven-petalled lotuses. This Bhagvati Yamuna, who serves the Youthful Couple eternally, is supremely worshipful. In Chaitanya-chandrodaya-nataka (5.35) Shrila Kavi-karnapura glorifies Shri Yamuna-devi: as follows (also quoted in Shri Chaitanyacharitamrita, Madhya-lila 3.28):[1]
"I repeatedly offer prayers to Shri Yamuna, the daughter of the Sungod, who is the bestower of unnata-ujjvala prema for Nand-nandan Shri Krishna, the transcendental sun. She embodies transcendental bliss and directly personifies the melted form of Parabrahma. Simply remembering her destroys all types of wickedness and great sins, thus rendering the heart pure. She bestows all auspiciousness upon the world, and can even infuse Braj-rasa into dry, desert-like hearts. May she purify us."
