Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 27


Sanskrit:

अनार्द्रधीरेष समास्थितो रथंतमन्वमी च त्वरयन्ति दुर्मदा: ।गोपा अनोभि: स्थविरैरुपेक्षितंदैवं च नोऽद्य प्रतिकूलमीहते ॥ २७ ॥

ITRANS:

anārdra-dhīr eṣa samāsthito rathaṁtam anv amī ca tvarayanti durmadāḥgopā anobhiḥ sthavirair upekṣitaṁdaivaṁ ca no ’dya pratikūlam īhate

Translation:

Hard-hearted Kṛṣṇa has already mounted the chariot, and now the foolish cowherds are hurrying after Him in their bullock carts. Even the elders are saying nothing to stop Him. Today fate is working against us.

Purport:

Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī reveals what the gopīs thought: “These foolish cowherd men and elders are not even trying to stop Kṛṣṇa. Don’t they realize they are committing suicide? They are helping Kṛṣṇa go to Mathurā, but they will have to come back to Vṛndāvana and will certainly die in His absence. The whole world has become nonsensical.”
