TRANSLATION

The love of the gopis is called radha-bhava. It is pure and spotless. It is not at any
time lust.

PURPORT

As already explained, the position of the gopis in their loving dealings with Krsna
is transcendental. Their emotion is called rédha-bhava. Although it is apparently
like mundane sex, one should not confuse it with mundane sexual love, for it is
pure and unadulterated love of Godhead.
