a nice story that i just heard in a class of sripad narayan maharaj:
Vrindadevi comes to Srimati Radhika, who is asking her:" Oh, my dear friend, where are you coming from, what have you done?"
Vrindadeva answered:" I come from your kunda and I was watching your beloved there....."
"Really, what did he do?"
"He was taking dancing lessions"
Srimati Radhika became suspicious:" Dancing lessions??? from whom??? who is his teacher???"
"it is you- he is seeing your picture in every leaf and in every krpa and he dancing after them - trying to reach you......
you are his guru - and he is your dancing disciple....."
radhikera prema guru ami sisya nata

Wow! I came across that very verse this morning! But it was Adi lila 4th chapter. Is that what you mean by 1.4?

Well let's say you made a semi educated guess. No harm, but you were wrong. Its Govinda-lilamtra. It is sometimes abbreviated in this way. Understandably hard to guess. Krsnadasa Kaviraja makes the statement about Radha's prema and Krsna's discipleship and then cites Govinda-lilamrta as evidence. See Cc 1.4.124-125
