TRANSLATION

“After conquering the moon and the lotus flower, Krsna wished to capture
the doelike gopis. Thus He spread the noose of His beautiful face, and within
that noose He placed the bait of His sweet smile to misguide the gopis. The
gopis fell prey to that trap and became Krsna’s maidservants, giving up their
homes, families, husbands and prestige.
