ecstatic love for Krsna in separation manifested by the gopis, he appreciated their
supreme love and therefore expressed his feelings in this verse. He admitted that
the fortune of the gopis could not be compared even to the fortune of the god-
dess of fortune, to say nothing of the beautiful girls in the heavenly planets.

pear again.
