Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 53


Sanskrit:

श्रीशुक उवाचततस्ता: कृष्णसन्देशैर्व्यपेतविरहज्वरा: ।उद्धवं पूजयां चक्रुर्ज्ञात्वात्मानमधोक्षजम् ॥ ५३ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-śuka uvācatatas tāḥ kṛṣṇa-sandeśairvyapeta-viraha-jvarāḥuddhavaṁ pūjayāṁ cakrurjñātvātmānam adhokṣajam

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: Lord Kṛṣṇa’s messages having relieved their fever of separation, the gopīs then worshiped Uddhava, recognizing him as nondifferent from their Lord, Kṛṣṇa.

Purport:

Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī states that the words jñatvātmānam adhokṣajam also indicate that the gopīs recognize Lord Kṛṣṇa to be the very soul of their lives and thus spiritually one with them.
