Adha Vrajan Rajapadhena Madhava: Sthriyam Griheethanga Vilepa Bhajanam | Vilokya  Kubjam Yuvathim Varananam  Papraccha Yanthim Prahasan Rasapradha: || Ka Thvam Varorvethadhu Hanulepanam Kasyangane Va Kadhayasva Sadhu Na: | Dhehyavayoranga Vilepamuththamam Shreyasthathasthe Na Chirath Bhavishyathi ||

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, On their way, Krishna met a woman who had three curves on her body,/Kubja,  she had three visible curves, on the neck, waist, and leg.  She has covered her face with beautiful upper clothe; she was holding a highly fragrant paste of sandalwood and vermilion to deliver to the palace of Kamsa.  Krishna addressed her ‘Hey beautiful one!’ .  Kubja was shocked, have not heard of sweet words in her life.  Krishna requested her to apply the rich sandalwood paste on his face, she was immensely happy to hear from the charming youth.   Sairandhri looked at Krishna and said “ Oh Bhagavan, I am Thrivakra, people address me in that name, I have three visible curves on my body, I am one of the attendants in the palace of Kamsa, I have to deliver these highly fragrant sandalwood paste to him.  You have me addressed in sweet words; no one has done that before, now onwards I have no work other than to attend your needs, I am extremely happy to offer my service to you.”  She engrossed in decorating Krishna’s face with the rich sandalwood paste and vermilion, she adorned the paste of sandalwood on his hands and body as well.  Bhagavan decided to bless her with marvelous appearance, asked her to keep down all the sandal paste and various fragrances she was carrying to the palace.   He went close to her with the touch of one hand on the lower jaw and another on the back of the head, pressed his thumb of foot placing on her feet, asked her not to move an inch, he pulled her head upwards.  Alas! Sairandhri got a beautiful appearance with no curves on her body at the touch of Mukunda. She embraced Krishna and requested to visit her home, was refused amiably with a promise to visit her in one of these days.  Sairandhri was immensely happy, could not believe the sudden transformation in her.”
