Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 13

Sanskrit:

तद्दर्शनाह्लादविधूतहृद्रुजोमनोरथान्तं श्रुतयो यथा ययु: ।स्वैरुत्तरीयै: कुचकुङ्कुमाङ्कितै-रचीक्लृपन्नासनमात्मबन्धवे ॥ १३ ॥

ITRANS:

tad-darśanāhlāda-vidhūta-hṛd-rujomanorathāntaṁ śrutayo yathā yayuḥsvair uttarīyaiḥ kuca-kuṅkumāṅkitairacīkḷpann āsanam ātma-bandhave

Translation:

Their heartache vanquished by the ecstasy of seeing Kṛṣṇa, the gopīs, like the personified Vedas before them, felt their desires completely fulfilled. For their dear friend Kṛṣṇa they arranged a seat with their shawls which were smeared with the kuṅkuma powder from their breasts.

Purport:

In the Eighty-seventh Chapter of this canto (text 23), the śrutis, or personified Vedas, pray as follows: “These women fully absorbed their minds in meditation on Lord Kṛṣṇa’s powerful arms, which are like the bodies of great serpents. We want to become just like the gopīs and render service to His lotus feet.” The śrutis had seen Kṛṣṇa during His appearance in the previous day of Brahmā and had become full of the most intense desire to associate with Him. Then in this kalpa they became gopīs. And since the Vedas are eternal in human society, the śrutis in this kalpa also become full of desire for Kṛṣṇa and in the next kalpa will also become gopīs. This information is given by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura.
