A whole lot of PUN

Sri Sri Radha Krsna.

....... Someones knocking on the Door .......
.......... Knock - Knock ........ Knock - Knock ..........


Radha: "Who's knocking on the door?"
Krsna: "Don't be cunning, it's Madhava."

Radha:
"The spring?"

Krsna: "No, Chakri."

Radha: "What, a potter? What do I need with a potter?"
Krsna: "No, it's Giridhari."

Radha: "What, a two-tongued snake?"
Krsna: "No I am not a snake. I am the destroyer of the terrible snakes."


Radha:
"Then you must be Garuda, the eagle."
Krsna: "No I am Hari."

Radha: "A monkey, then?"

May Krishna, who holds the disk in his hand, who was thus made to laugh by Radha's witty answers, deliver us all from samsara.

Radha: "Who's there?" "Keshava." "Are you so proud of your hair, then?"

Krsna:
"No, this is Sauri, the son of Vasudeva."

Radha: "Well, the qualities have all gone to the father and I have no business with the son."


Krsna:
"O moon-face one, you don't understand, it's Chakri."

Radha: "Oh, you must be the potter who has come to deliver a pitcher, a jug and a milking pail!"

Thus defeated in this exchange of words, Hari blushed. May he deliver us all. Sad-ukti-karnamrita (1.56.3). Rupa Goswami

Radha: "Where did you stay (vasa) last night, Keshava?"
Krsna: "My clothes (vasa)? Why I am wearing them. And did I tell you how enchanting your eyes are?"

Radha: "You rascal, explain where you have been (vasa)."
Krsna: "Explain my fragrance (vasa)? My beauty, this fragrant perfume has come to me from touching you."

Radha: "You cheat! Where did you spend the night?"
Krsna: "Stolen by the night? The night has no body; how can it steal anything?"

May that Krishna, who disarmed Radha with his witty replies, deliver us from the suffering of samsara.

This verse is quoted from the BRS 2.1.83

Krsna: "Radha, are you angry (kupita)?"
Radha: "No, you are the father of the world (ku-pita)."

Krsna: "Then you are the mother (mata) of the universe."
Radha: "No, you are. For you alone know all things and thus can know its measure (mata)."

Krsna: "My goddess, you have unlimited expertise in argumentative joking." "And you, too."

Hearing this, Krishna smiled and bowed his head to the milkmaid beauty; may he bestow auspiciousness on you all.


What follows is another sample of this type of verse found in Sad-ukti-karnamrita:

...... Knock - Knock ........ Knock - Knock ......

Radha: "Who's that at the door?" "Hari." "Go back to the forest. We don't need any monkeys around here."

Krsna:
"Darling, it's Krishna." "Ooh, that scares me even more,

Radha: I have never seen black monkeys."
Krsna: "Don't be silly, it's Madhusudana."

Radha: "A bumblebee? Then go back to gathering honey in the flower garden!"

May that Krishna, who was thus rendered speechless by his beloved Radha, deliver you from the suffering of samsara. - Sri Rupa goswami
