TRANSLATION
" 'Great sages, by practicing the mystic yoga system and controlling the
breath, conquer the mind and senses. Thus engaging in mystic yoga and
seeing the Supersoul within their hearts, they ultimately enter into impersonal
Brahman, along with the enemies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
However, the damsels of Vraja, the gopis, want to embrace Knr:�a and His
arms, which are like serpents. Being attracted by the beauty of K��r:�a, the
gopis ultimately tasted the nectar of the lotus feet of the Lord. The Upani�ads
have also tasted the nectar of His lotus feet by following in the footsteps of the
gopis.' "
PURPORT
This verse is from Srimad-Bhagavatam (1 0.87.23).
