Sanskrit:

मयि भक्तिर्हि भूतानाममृतत्वाय कल्पते ।दिष्‍ट्या यदासीन्मत्स्‍नेहो भवतीनां मदापन: ॥ ४४ ॥

ITRANS:

mayi bhaktir hi bhūtānāmamṛtatvāya kalpatediṣṭyā yad āsīn mat-snehobhavatīnāṁ mad-āpanaḥ

Translation:

Rendering devotional service to Me qualifies any living being for eternal life. But by your good fortune you have developed a special loving attitude toward Me, by which you have obtained Me.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, the gopīs then replied, “But that Supreme Lord You are blaming is none other than Yourself, O most clever of speakers. Everyone in the world knows this! Why should we be ignorant of this fact?” “All right,” Lord Kṛṣṇa then told them, “if this is true, I must be God, but still I am conquered by your loving affection.”
