ShriParthasarathy did not grace Goda with his presence; hence in the
month of Panguni, Goda sought the help of Manmathan, the God of Love.
She washed the front porch of the house, decorated it and drew
pictures of Manmathan carrying bow, arrow and garlands with fine white
sand. She showered him with sweet-smelling fragrant flowers and
requested him thus: 
"I have drawn your form in the ruby studded porch of this house and I
beseech thee and thy younger brother!  Help me attain Nandagopalan's
fragrant shoulders quickly. 
"Think about this:" She urged the handsome Kaaman, " How can the havis
that is fit only for devas be touched by dogs?  In the same way, if my
name is linked with mere mortals, I cannot live!"
This nonbu also did not give her the desired result!  Overcome with
sadness, she even neglected playing with her friends. She spent all
her time singing Krishna's praise ? she did not eat, her lips were
dry; and her bangles did not stay on her thin arms. Her friends were
worried and tried to comfort her by fanning her with fans made of
aromatic roots.  But Goda was thinking only of Krishna's  rasaleela. 
"The ground of brindavan must have done many good deeds- since the
love stricken gopis danced with soft footed Krishna", she lamented. 
"What penance did His flute do, that it got to be held by Him and was
in His mouth tasting his lips" She wondered!
        "So did His Panchajanyam ? Hey!" She called out to Panchajanyam. 
"What does Madhavan's lips smell like or how is the taste? Does it
smell like camphor and taste like the ambrosia of lotus?"  She
enquired of Panchajanyam.
        "Dear friends! Bring the dust under the feet of my Lord and rub it
over me- that is the only medicine for my sickness" she told her friends. 
        Goda did not eat, nor sleep and fainted often ? and during one such
fainting fit, she had a dream!
