By painting one picture, you enjoy some rasa, or mellow; otherwise why you are working so hard? There is a pleasure. So Kṛṣṇa is raso vai saḥ. Raso vai saḥ: "He is the reservoir of all pleasure." Sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ (Bs. 5.1). These words are used: sat, cit, ānanda. Ānanda means pleasure. His pleasure potency is Rādhārāṇī.

In the Vedānta-sūtra there is another aphorism, that ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12): "By nature the Supreme Absolute Person is ānandamaya." The artistic sense . . . you are engaged in artistic work just to have a pleasure, ānanda. Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt. That pleasure, rasa, a mellow . . . by painting one picture, you enjoy some rasa, or mellow; otherwise why you are working so hard? There is a pleasure.

So Kṛṣṇa is raso vai saḥ. Raso vai saḥ: "He is the reservoir of all pleasure." Sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ (Bs. 5.1). These words are used: sat, cit, ānanda. Ānanda means pleasure. His pleasure potency is Rādhārāṇī. You have seen the picture of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. So Rādhārāṇī is the manifestation of Kṛṣṇa's pleasure potency. He has got, as I have already explained, parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8, CC Madhya 13.65, purport). He has got multi-energies, and one of the energy is pleasure potency. That is Rādhārāṇī.

Kṛṣṇa is addressed in the Bhagavad-gītā, paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān (BG 10.12). So parabrahma. Now, Brahman means biggest. So for Brahman happiness . . . that you have got experience within this world, that for achieving brahma sukha, or the greatest pleasure, ananta, unlimited pleasure . . .

ramante yoginaḥ anante
satyānande cid-ātmani
iti rāma-padenāsau
paraṁ brahma ity abhidhīyate
(CC Madhya 9.29)

What is the meaning of Rāma, Rāma-Kṛṣṇa? So Rāma means ramante, enjoys, rāma. So who enjoys? Yoginaḥ, big, big yogīs. Rāmante yoginaḥ. The greatest of all yogīs is the bhakta-yogī.
