TRANSLATION
Whenever there is unselfish love, that is its style. The reservoir of love derives
pleasure when the lovable object is pleased. When the pleasure of love interferes
with the service of Lord Krsna, the devotee becomes angry toward such ecstasy.
PURPORT
As mentioned above, the gopis are the predominated lovers, and si Krsna is the
predominator, the beloved. The love of the predominated nourishes the love of the
predominator. The gopis had no desire for selfish enjoyment. Their feeling of happi-
ness was indirect, for it was dependent on the pleasure of Krsna. Causeless love of
Godhead is always so. Such pure love is possible only when the predominated is
made happy by the happiness of the predominator. Such unadulterated love is
exemplified when the lover deprecates her happiness in service that hinders her
from discharging it.
