The Gopikas removed all their clothing and were bathing in the Yamuna river. Mischevious Krishna knew this and came to the river bank. He took all their clothes and went and sat on top of the fragrant oleander tree that was on the bank of the river. The Gopikas came to the bank after their bath and were perplexed by not finding their clothes. They then found Krishna with their clothes sitting on the tree. They pleaded with him to give back their clothes. But Krishna said It is mentioned in the shasthras that one should not bathe without any clothing, since you have not obeyed the shasthras to be rid of the sin you all will have to plead with both your hands above your head. Only then you will get your clothes”. The Gopis obeyed him and got their clothes back. Krishna was the smiling to himself when they did so. This lover is unequalled.
