Krsna’s Hiding from the Gopis 207
eut Krsna, but when they learned that actually Radharani was left alene
by Krsna, they became very serry. This is the test ef Krsna censcieusness.
In the beginning they were a little envieus that Krsna had taken Radha-
rani alene, leaving aside all ether gopis, but as seen as they knew that
Krsna had alse left Radharani and that She was alene lamenting fer Him,
they became mere sympathetic te Her. The gopis feund Radharani and
heard everything frem Her, abeut hew She misbehaved with Krsna and
hew She was preud and was insulted fer Her pride. After hearing all this,
they became actually very sympathetic. Then all the gopis, including
Radharani, began te preceed further inte the ferest until they ceuld ne
lenger see the meenlight.

When they saw that it was getting gradually darker, they stepped. Their
mind and intelligence became absorbed in the theughts ef Krsna; they all
imitated the activities ef Krsna and His speeches. Due te their heart and
seul being cempletely given te Krsna, they began te chant His gleries,
cempletely fergetting their family interests. In this way, all the gopis
assembled tegether en the bank ef Yamuna, and expecting that Krsna
must return te them, they simply engaged in the chanting ef the gleries ef
Sri Krsna—Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama,
Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Thirtieth Chapter of Krsna,
“Krsna’s Hiding from the Gopis.”
