Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 3

Sanskrit:

तं प्रश्रयेणावनता: सुसत्कृतंसव्रीडहासेक्षणसूनृतादिभि: ।रहस्यपृच्छन्नुपविष्टमासनेविज्ञाय सन्देशहरं रमापते: ॥ ३ ॥

ITRANS:

taṁ praśrayeṇāvanatāḥ su-sat-kṛtaṁsa-vrīḍa-hāsekṣaṇa-sūnṛtādibhiḥrahasy apṛcchann upaviṣṭam āsanevijñāya sandeśa-haraṁ ramā-pateḥ

Translation:

Bowing their heads in humility, the gopīs duly honored Uddhava with their shy, smiling glances and pleasing words. They took him to a quiet place, seated him comfortably and began to question him, for they recognized him to be a messenger from Kṛṣṇa, the master of the goddess of fortune.

Purport:

The chaste gopīs were enlivened to see that a messenger had come from Kṛṣṇa. As Uddhava will discover during his stay in Vṛndāvana, the unique gopīs could not think of anything but their beloved Kṛṣṇa.
