Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 31
Sanskrit:
गोप्य ऊचु:मैवं विभोऽर्हति भवान् गदितुं नृशंसंसन्त्यज्य सर्वविषयांस्तव पादमूलम् ।भक्ता भजस्व दुरवग्रह मा त्यजास्मान्देवो यथादिपुरुषो भजते मुमुक्षून् ॥ ३१ ॥
ITRANS:
śrī-gopya ūcuḥmaivaṁ vibho ’rhati bhavān gadituṁ nṛ-śaṁsaṁsantyajya sarva-viṣayāṁs tava pāda-mūlambhaktā bhajasva duravagraha mā tyajāsmāndevo yathādi-puruṣo bhajate mumukṣūn
Translation:
The beautiful gopīs said: O all-powerful one, You should not speak in this cruel way. Do not reject us, who have renounced all material enjoyment to render devotional service to Your lotus feet. Reciprocate with us, O stubborn one, just as the primeval Lord, Śrī Nārāyaṇa, reciprocates with His devotees in their endeavors for liberation.
