English	Uddhava went to Vṛndāvana with Kṛṣṇa's message to the gopīs. Rādhārāṇī, however, was so much absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa that She began to talk with a bumblebee flying here and there, taking him to be Kṛṣṇa's messenger. “Bumblebee, you are accustomed to drinking honey from flower to flower and therefore have preferred to be a messenger of Kṛṣṇa, who is of the same nature. You have come here with a message for Me. But My dear bumblebee, I don’t want it. You are the unreliable servant of an unreliable master.”
