As a fact, Mirabai was a most beautiful young princess and he had not much faith in her pretensions Hearing the message of Rupa, Mirabai replied. Is he then a male ? If so, he has no access to Vrindaban. Males cannot enter there, and if the goddess of Vrindaban comes to know of his presence, she will turn him out. For does not the great Goswami know that there is but one male in existence, namely my beloved Kanai Lal and that all besides are female ?' Rupa now understood that Mira was really a staunch devotee of Krishna and so agreed to see her. (Lord Gaurang or Salvation for All, Vol.I Introduction page40) For Private And Personal Use Only
