TRANSLATION

Now whatever affection we see the gopis show in their own bodies, know it for
certain to be only for the sake of Lord Krsna.

PURPORT

The selfless love of Godhead exhibited by the gopis cannot have any parallel.
We should not, therefore, misunderstand the carefulness of the gopis in their
personal decoration. The gopis dressed themselves as beautifully as possible, just to
make Krsna happy by seeing them. They had no ulterior desires. They dedicated
their bodies, and everything they possessed, to the service of Sri Krsna, taking for
granted that their bodies were meant for His enjoyment. They dressed themselves on
the understanding that Krsna would be happy by seeing and touching them.
