नृसिह्ममेधसस्तस्य कन्यकाssसीत् सुलक्षणा |

Vaishnava Samhita. Narasimha Mehta Charitam I. Vol III Book VI Chp 15 Shlokas 52 - 54
बाष्पपूरितनेत्राणां कृष्णकीर्तनकारिणाम् |
पावितं भुवनं सर्वं भक्तानां पादरेणुभिः ||
विश्वेश्वरस्तथा काश्यां कैलासे तु महेश्वरः |
गोपेश्वरः श्रीवने च श्रीशैले परमेश्वरः ||
एवं प्रदोषकाले तु स्मरन्नीशचत्तुष्टयम् |
शिवसायुज्यमाप्नोति संसाराब्धिसमुत्थितः ||
The world gets sanctified with the sacred dust of the holy feet of those bhagavatas who sing in praise of Shri Krishna, eyes shedding tears of ecstasy. If an individual meditates upon the four forms of Easwara viz. Shri Vishveshwara in Kashi, Shri Maheswara in Kailasha, Shri Gopishwara in Brindavan and Shri Parameshwara in Shrishailam, at the time of pradosha, he can get ashore the ocean of samsara and reach the final abode of Shri Shiva (Shivasayuja)
Thus ends Chapter Fifteen entitled 'Narasimha Mehta Charitam I' of Book VI of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal

क्षणादन्तर्हितं सर्वमग्रतस्तस्य पश्यतः |
तत्रैवान्तर्दधाते च सुप्रीतौ कृष्णशङ्करौ ||
All these scenes disappeared in a moment. The same moment Shri Krishna and Lord Shiva were satisfied with him and they disappeared.
Vaishnava Samhita. Narasimha Mehta Charitam I. Vol III Book VI Chp 15 Shlokas 47 - 48
सद्यः प्रेमसमाक्रान्तः कृष्णप्रेमवशीकृतः |
ददर्श तत्र चात्मानं गोपीरूपेण संश्तितम् ||
कृष्णचन्दनलिप्ताङ्गं कृष्णालिङ्गनमोहितम् |
कृष्णशिक्षितनाट्यञ्च कृष्णकीर्तनतत्परम् ||
The very moment Narasimha Mehta felt a transformation in him. He found himself to be a Gopi. He was enchanted by the prem of Shri Krishna. He felt himself perfected with loving devotion. His body seemed as though rubbed with the same sandal paste of Shri Krishna. He was intoxicated with the embrace of Shri Krishna. He was to be dancing in the manner taught by Shri Krishna. He too was immersed in Krishna kirtan.

Shri Sadguru said
Having spoken thus, Shri Shankara, the one fond of the bhaktas, took that devotee to Shri Brindavan using His yogic power. The scene unfolded itself before the child like this. Shri Brindavan was enthralled by the sweet music of the cuckoo and the chirping sound of different kinds of birds. It was lit by the cool moon's rays and was being fondled by cool breeze. It was filled with the pleasant blend of fragrance emanating from flowers like mallika, mandara, vakula and champaka. It was made cool by the waters of the Yamuna and was thus enchanting in all respects. In the midst of these beauties the Rasikendra, Shri Radhakrishna was seen by Narasimha Mehta like this. This Lord was as captivatingly handsome as a crore of Manmathas. He was having the blue complexion of the clouds and was wearing an exquisite yellow silk; He was annointed with cool sandal paste. He was lotus-eyed, decorated with a tilak, the eyes beautified with khajal and ears adorned with kundalas. He was playing melodiously on the flute. He was surrounded by the Gopis and was engaged in Raasa dance with tinkling anklets and with a chest tinted with the red tilaka of the Gopis.
