Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 16-17


Sanskrit:

निजपदाब्जदलैर्ध्वजवज्र-नीरजाङ्कुशविचित्रललामै: ।व्रजभुव: शमयन् खुरतोदंवर्ष्मधुर्यगतिरीडितवेणु: ॥ १६ ॥व्रजति तेन वयं सविलास-वीक्षणार्पितमनोभववेगा: ।कुजगतिं गमिता न विदाम:कश्मलेन कवरं वसनं वा ॥ १७ ॥

ITRANS:

nija-padābja-dalair dhvaja-vajranīrajāṅkuśa-vicitra-lalāmaiḥvraja-bhuvaḥ śamayan khura-todaṁvarṣma-dhurya-gatir īḍita-veṇuḥ

Translation:

As Kṛṣṇa strolls through Vraja with His lotus-petal-like feet, marking the ground with the distinctive emblems of flag, thunderbolt, lotus and elephant goad, He relieves the distress the ground feels from the cows’ hooves. As He plays His renowned flute, His body moves with the grace of an elephant. Thus we gopīs, who become agitated by Cupid when Kṛṣṇa playfully glances at us, stand as still as trees, unaware that our hair and garments are slackening.

Purport:

Here mother Yaśodā is no longer in the company of the gopīs, who are confidentially describing their conjugal attraction to Śrī Kṛṣṇa. It is clear from the comments of Jīva Gosvāmī and other ācāryas that the statements in this chapter were made at various times and places. This is natural, since the gopīs were always absorbed in thoughts of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, day and night.
