In plain words
When purity and unity both come together, it turns into divinity. One day a new daughter-in-law came to Vrepalle. She had come longing to see Kṛṣṇa by any means. She could not tell anyone the longing in her heart. She could not tell her parents-in-law. She was afraid of what her husband might say if she told him. In that village the custom was that at dusk one had to go to the house of the wealthy and come back with one's lamp lit there. Every day the mother-in-law went, lit it and came back. ‘You must not go to Yaśodā's house. You must not see Kṛṣṇa. You must not become His devotee’: this was the order the mother-in-law kept laying down. No one has the authority to say that one must not see God. One day the mother-in-law came down with a high temperature. She could not move. There was no way out. ‘Suguṇā! Go and get the lamp lit, and come back!’ she said. ‘My good fortune has ripened. My heart is full,’ she thought, and felt Ānanda of many kinds in her heart. Forgetting herself, she went to Yaśodā's house. She is lighting her lamp from the lamp Yaśodā had set on the verandah. What she saw in that lamp, who can say, but this new daughter-in-law was lost in rapture. Her hand was burning. Yaśodā came running from inside, because there was a smell of burning skin. ‘Child! What is this? Your body is burning; can you not see it?’ she asked. She does not even hear Yaśodā's words. She had fixed her mind wholly on Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is laughing. She is laughing. She felt no pain at all. All the Gopīs went and brought her outside. When they asked why she had done this, she told them. ‘Kṛṣṇa appeared in the flame. He made me laugh. He laughed Himself,’ she said. Can women's mouths keep quiet? In a moment the whole of this news spread, like a newspaper. All the women gathered.
Suguṇā saw Him, they say, in Nanda's house; Gopāla, they say, appeared in the lamp, they say; that is the flame that caught her rag. ‖Su‖
