ITRANS:

tāḥ kṛṣṇa-mātaram apatyam anupraviṣṭāṁtulya-vyathāḥ samanugṛhya śucaḥ sravantyaḥtās tā vraja-priya-kathāḥ kathayantya āsankṛṣṇānane ’rpita-dṛśo mṛtaka-pratīkāḥ

Translation:

Although the elder gopīs were feeling just as much distress as she and were pouring forth a flood of sorrowful tears, they had to forcibly hold back Kṛṣṇa’s mother, whose consciousness was totally absorbed in her son. Standing like corpses, with their eyes fixed upon His face, these gopīs each took turns recounting the pastimes of the darling of Vraja.
