Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 20

Sanskrit:

श्रीदामा नाम गोपालो रामकेशवयो: सखा ।सुबलस्तोककृष्णाद्या गोपा: प्रेम्णेदमब्रुवन् ॥ २० ॥

ITRANS:

śrīdāmā nāma gopālorāma-keśavayoḥ sakhāsubala-stokakṛṣṇādyāgopāḥ premṇedam abruvan

Translation:

Once, some of the cowherd boys — Śrīdāmā, the very close friend of Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, along with Subala, Stokakṛṣṇa and others — lovingly spoke the following words.

Purport:

The word premṇā, “with love,” indicates that the request the cowherd boys are about to place before Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Balarāma is motivated by love, not personal desire. The cowherd boys were eager for Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma to exhibit Their pastimes of killing demons and to enjoy the delicious fruits of the Tāla forest, and therefore they made the following request.
