Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Antya-līlā, Ch. 19]
young girl friends in Mathurā. Therefore, now that He can be called a friend of the residents of Mathurā, He does not need the help of the residents of Vṛndāvana. He has no reason to satisfy us  gopīs . Since you are the messenger of such a person as He, what is the use of your presence here? Certainly Kṛṣṇa would be ashamed of your presence in this assembly."
How has Kṛṣṇa offended the  gopīs  so that they want to reject Him from their minds? The answer is given as follows:
sakṛd adhara-sudhārṅ svārṅ mohinīrṅ pāyayitvā sumanasa iva sadyas tatyaje 'smān bhavādṛk paricarati katharṅ tat-pāda-padmarṅ tu padmā hy api bata hṛta-cetā uttama-śloka-jalpaiḥ
"Kṛṣṇa no longer gives us the enchanting nectar of His lips; instead, He now gives that nectar to the women of Mathurā. Kṛṣṇa directly attracts our minds, yet He resembles a bumblebee like you because He gives up the association of a beautiful flower and goes to a flower that is inferior. That is the way Kṛṣṇa has treated us. I do not know why the goddess of fortune continues to serve His lotus feet instead of leaving them aside. Apparently she believes in Kṛṣṇa's false words. We  gopīs , however, are not unintelligent like Lakṣmī."
After hearing the bumblebee's sweet songs and recognizing that the bee was singing about Kṛṣṇa for Her satisfaction, the  gopī  replied,
kim iha bahu ṣaḍaṅghre gāyasi tvarṅ yadūnām adhipatim agṛhāṇām agrato naḥ purāṇam vijaya-sakha-sakhīnārṅ gīyatārṅ tat-prasaṅgaḥ kṣapita-kucarujas te kalpayantīṣṭam iṣṭāḥ
"Dear bumblebee, Lord Kṛṣṇa has no residence here, but we know Him as Yadupati [the King of the Yadu dynasty]. We know Him very well, and therefore we are not interested in hearing any more songs about Him. It would be better for you to go sing to those who are now very dear to Kṛṣṇa. Those women of Mathurā have now achieved the opportunity to be embraced by Him. They are His beloveds now, and therefore He has relieved the burning in their breasts. If you go there and sing your songs to those fortunate women, they will be very pleased, and they will honor you."
