TRANSLATION

‘My dear gopis, what auspicious activities must the flute have performed to
enjoy the nectar of Krsna’s lips independently and leave only a taste for the
gopis for whom that nectar is actually meant. The forefathers of the flute, the
bamboo trees, shed tears of pleasure. His mother, the river, on whose bank
the bamboo was born, feels jubilation, and therefore her blooming lotus
flowers are standing like hair on her body.”

PURPORT

This is a verse quoted from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.21.9) regarding a discussion
the gopis had among themselves. As the autumn season began in Vrndavana,
Lord Krsna was tending the cows and blowing on His flute. The gopis then began
to praise Krsna and discuss the fortunate position of His flute.
