TRANSLATION

[The gopis say:] ‘‘O friends, those eyes that see the beautiful faces of the sons of
Maharaja Nanda are certainly fortunate. As these two sons enter the forest, sur-
rounded by Their friends, driving the cows before Them, They hold Their flutes to
Their mouths and glance lovingly upon the residents of Vrndavana. For those who
have eyes, we think there is no greater object of vision.”

PURPORT

Like the gopis, one can see Krsna continuously if one is fortunate enough. In the
Brahma-samhitd it is said that sages whose eyes have been smeared with the oint-
ment of pure love can see the form of Syamasundara (Krsna) continuously in the
centers of their hearts. This text from Srimad-Bhdgavatam (10.21.7) was sung by
the gopis on the advent of the Sarat season.
