### CC Adi 4.188

> তাঁ সবার নাহি নিজসুখ-অনুরোধ ।\
> তথাপি বাঢ়য়ে সুখ, পড়িল বিরোধ ॥১৮৮॥

> tāṅ sabāra nāhi nija-sukha-anurodha\
> tathāpi bāḍhaye sukha, paḍila virodha

*tāṅ sabāra*—of all of them; *nāhi*—not; *nija-sukha*—for their own happiness; *anurodha*—entreaty; *tathāpi*—still; *bāḍhaye*—increases; *sukha*—happiness; *paḍila*—happened; *virodha*—contradiction.

**The gopīs have no inclination for their own enjoyment, and yet their joy increases. That is indeed a contradiction.**
