ataeva sei sukha kpsna-sukha pose
ei hetu gopi-preme nahi kama-dose

SYNONYMS

ataeva—therefore ; sei—that; sukha—happiness; krsna-sukha—the happiness of Lord
Krsna; pose—nourishes; ei—this; hetu—reason; gopi-preme—in the love of the gopis;
nahi—there is not; kdma-dose—the fault of lust.

TRANSLATION

Therefore we find that the joy of the gopis nourishes the joy of Lord Krsna. For
that reason the fault of lust is not present in their love.

PURPORT

By looking at the beautiful gopis Krsna becomes enlivened, and this enlivens the
gopis, whose youthful faces and bodies blossom. This competition of increasing
beauty between the gopis and Krsna, which is without limitations, is so delicate that
sometimes mundane moralists mistake these dealings to be purely amorous. But these
affairs are not at all mundane, because the gopis’ intense desire to satisfy Krsna
surcharges the entire scene with pure love of Godhead, with not a spot of sexual
indulgence.
