> উত্তর না পাঞা পুনঃ করে অনুমান  ।\

*uttara*—answer; *nā*—not; *pāñā*—getting; *punaḥ*—again; *kare*—do; *anumāna*—guess; *ei saba*—all these; *puruṣa-jāti*—belonging to the male class; *kṛṣṇera*—of Kṛṣṇa; *sakhāra samāna*—as good as friends.

**"When the trees did not reply, the gopīs guessed,'Since all of these trees belong to the male class, all of them must be friends of Kṛṣṇa.**
