Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 49


Sanskrit:

किं साधयिष्यत्यस्माभिर्भर्तु: प्रीतस्य निष्कृतिम् ।तत: स्‍त्रीणां वदन्तीनामुद्धवोऽगात् कृताह्निक: ॥ ४९ ॥

ITRANS:

kiṁ sādhayiṣyaty asmābhirbhartuḥ prītasya niṣkṛtimtataḥ strīṇāṁ vadantīnāmuddhavo ’gāt kṛtāhnikaḥ

Translation:

“Is he going to use our flesh to offer funeral oblations for his master, who was so satisfied with his service?” As the women were speaking in this way, Uddhava appeared, having finished his early-morning duties.

Purport:

This verse reveals the bitter disappointment the gopīs felt when Akrūra took Kṛṣṇa away. However, they will be pleasantly surprised to see that the unexpected guest is Uddhava.
