TRANSLATION<br />

" 'All the gopis, the personal friends of Srimati Radhara�i, are equal to Her.<br />

Kr�J;�a is pleasing to the inhabitants of Vrajabhumi, just as the moon is pleasing<br />

to the lotus flower. His pleasure-giving potency is known as ahladini, of which<br />

the active principle is Srimati RadharaJ;�i. She is compared to a creeper with<br />

newly grown flowers and leaves. When the nectar of Kr�Qa's pastimes is<br />

sprinkled on Srimati Radhara�i, all Her friends, the gopis, immediately ap­<br />

preciate the pleasure a hundred times more than if they were sprinkled them­<br />

selves. Actually this is not at all wonderful!<br />

PURPORT<br />

This verse is also from Govinda-lilamrta (1 0.16).<br />
