TRANSLATION
“The vibration of His flute slackens the knots of their underwear even in front of their husbands. Thus the gopīs are forced to abandon their household duties and come before Lord Kṛṣṇa. In this way all social etiquette, shame and fear are vanquished. The vibration of His flute causes all women to dance.”
TEXT 144
কাণের ভিতর বাসা করে, আপনে তাঁহা সদা ক্ষুরে, অন্য শব্দ না দেয় প্রবেশিতে । আম কথা না শুনে কাণ, আম বলিতে বোলয় আম, এই কৃষ্ণের বংশীর চরিতে ॥ ১৪৪ ॥
kāṇera bhitara vāsā kare, āpane tāṅhā sadā sphure, anya śabda nā deya praveśite āna kathā nā śune kāṇa, āna balite bolaya āna, ei kṛṣṇera vaṁśīra carite

TRANSLATION
“The vibration of His flute is just like a bird that creates a nest within the ears of the gopīs and always remains prominent there, not allowing any other sound to enter their ears. Indeed, the gopīs cannot hear anything else, nor are they able to concentrate on anything else, not even to give a suitable reply. Such are the effects of the vibration of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s flute.”
