Hare Krsna dear devotees
In the Padyavali,one of the friends of Radharani once addressed Her thus: " My dear friend, please do not be too puffed up because Krsna has decorated Your forehead with His own hand. It may be that Krsna is yet attracted by some other beautiful girl. I see that the decoration on Your forehead is very nicely made, and so it appears that Krsna was not too disturbed in painting it. Otherwise, He could not have painted such exact lines! '
In the Tenth Canto, Thirtieth Chapter, verse 30, of Srimad-Bhagavatam, there is the following statement: " When the gopis were searching for Krsna and Radha after the rasa dance, they thus began to speak among themselves: ' We have seen the footprints of Krsna and Radha on the ground of Vrndavana, and they are giving us great pain, because although Krsna is everything to us, that girl is so cunning that She has taken Him away alone and is enjoying His kissing without sharing Him with us ! '"
This is another instance of envy of the good fortune of Srimati Radharani.

sab kushal mangal?
Yes
Thanks for asking!
I was reading Caitanya-caritamrta and came across this:
" It is Srimad-Bhagavatam's opinion that the process of Deity worship is not actually necessary, just as the specific prescriptions of the Panca-ratra and other scriptures do not have to be followed. The Bhagavatam enjoins that even without practicing Deity worship one can achieve the complete success of human life by any of the other devotional processes, such as simply offering oneself at the Lord's feet for His protection. "
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Madhya 15.108 PURPORT
okay
can you answer the main topic of this discussion. about enviousness to shrimati Radharani?
There are some bodily symptoms which express overwheming ecstatic love (vyabhicaari-bhava). They are counted as thirty three of which envy is one such symptom.
It is explained in detail in chapter 29
Expressions of Love For Krsna
The Nectar of Devotion
A coconut is sold at the rate of five gaṇḍās each. ( CC Madhya 15.70 )
gaṇḍās? What is this
Hare Krishna
it must be some bartar system in those days. or many some money demonination.
Hare Krishna prabhuji
During the time of HDG srila bhaktisiddhant sarasvati thakura Prabhupada, a man came to bhaktisiddhant sarasvati Prabhupada and said " oh, I think radha was just an Imaginary girl , laxmi is real, you should worship laxmi, radha is fake" -due to immense love and devotion of bhaktisiddhant sarasvati Prabhupada towards Radha Rani (as he is nayan mani manjri) ,after hearing this very stupid, ridiculous, absurd statement from that man, Prabhupada fell unconscious, and after that the disciple of bhaktisiddhant sarasvati thakura Prabhupada (he had many great scholar disciples) expalined the tattv and proved Radha Rani, that too very brutally, tearing apart that person ( metaphorically ).
