Lalita Madhava is praised by Ramananda Raya and Caitanya Mahaprabhu for its excellent verses depicting the emotions of the highest rasa. It begins in Vrndavana with separation from Krsna and ends in Dvaraka when the gopis reunite with Krsna as his queens, while maintaining their previous identities. Thus separation resolves into union and marriage in Dvaraka. The story included details different from the pastimes described in Bhagavatam.Thus Visvanatha Cakravarti explains that details of the drama were enacted in a different kalpa of Brahma.
