Śri Sudharmā Swāmī told-O Jambū ! At that time and at that period, there was a city named Dwarakā. Near it was mountain Raivataka. At that mountain there was a vast garden named Nandanavana. Krsna Vāsudeva was ruling over Dwarakā city. That Krsna Vasudeva had a queen named Gauri. She was describable. Once Bhagawāna Aristanemi came to that Nandanavana gurden. Krsna Vasudeva went to bow down and worship him. General public also went to listen to religious discourse. Queen Gauri also went to see and worship like queen Padmavati. Bhagawāna delivered sermon. General congregation returned after hearing sermon. Krsna Vasudeva also went back to his palace. Thereafter, like queen Padınăvatī, Gauri Devī also accepted consecration being disinclined to worldly enjoyments and was beatified-emancipated. In the same way further six chapters-3. Gandhāri, 4. Laksmanā 5. Susimā, 6. Jambavati 7. Satyabhama and 8. Rukmini should be known as that of Padmavati. The description of all these eight chapters should be known like that of Padmavati. All these were consecrated and salvated alike, these were the chief queens of Kršņa Väsudera.
[2-8 chapters concluded]
