Radhika is exceptionally beautiful, endowed with all fortunes and happiness - sublime and serious, and the consort of Sri Krsna. She is eternal and endowed with divine attributes. She is above and beyond material attributes and not visible even to great demigods and munis by the naked eye. Her clothes, even Agni would not burn. She was born, in Varaha Kalpa as the daughter of Vrsabhanu, and because her sacred feet trod over this land, Bharata India became holy.

Once Brahma did tapas austerities for 60,000 years to have a glimpse of Her lotus feet, but could not. People were able to see her only after she, in unbounded compassion for the world incarnated herself in Vrndavana.
