Very soon thereafter, on the occasion of Sri Radha's birthday celebration, Vrishabhanu sent his son Sridama to invite Nanda Maharaja and his family and friends to his palace. Hearing of the invitation, Krishna became full of bliss. Nanda and his party arrived and entered Vrishabhanu's palace.

When Radha and Krishna met, they stood staring at one another, enchanted by each other's beauty. (351)

Later, for the occasion of Krishna's appearance day, Mother Yasoda told Nanda that he should invite all his friends for a celebration. Nanda sent the son of his elder brother Upananda to the palace of Vrishabhanu and requested them to come to his house. Vrishabhanu and others came to Nanda's home carrying various gifts. Vrishabhanu's queen, Kirtida, and their daughter Radhika came along. Yasoda cordially received them, offering them celestial seats. News of the festival spread throughout Vraja and all the gopis rushed to the house of Nanda, joyfully singing songs for Krishna's well being. The gopas decorated themselves with ornaments and went to Nanda's home carrying many buckets of milk,

curds and ghee. The Lord's birthday celebration was thus celebrated with great ecstasy.

On that occasion, Krishna observed Sri Radha from a secluded place, but the two of them were unable to come closer to each other due to the presence of so many respected elders. Thus Sri Radha began to consider some pretext by which she could escape to meet Kanu. Somehow, her confidante Lalita managed to take Radha to a lonely place where she met her beloved Krishna.
