### CC Adi 4.172

> অতএব গোপীগণের নাহি কামগন্ধ ।\
> কৃষ্ণসুখ লাগি মাত্র, কৃষ্ণ সে সম্বন্ধ ॥১৭২॥

> ataeva gopī-gaṇera nāhi kāma-gandha\
> kṛṣṇa-sukha lāgi mātra, kṛṣṇa se sambandha

*ataeva*—therefore; *gopī-gaṇera*—of the *gopīs*; *nāhi*—not; *kāma-gandha*—the slightest bit of lust; *kṛṣṇa-sukha*—the happiness of Lord Kṛṣṇa; *lāgi*—for; *mātra*—only; *kṛṣṇa*—Lord Kṛṣṇa; *se*—that; *sambandha*—the relationship.

**Thus there is not the slightest taint of lust in the gopīs' love. Their relationship with Kṛṣṇa is only for the sake of His enjoyment.**
