TRANSLATION

“All the gopis, the personal friends of Srimati Radharani, are equal to Her.
Krsna is pleasing to the inhabitants of Vrajabhimi, just as the moon is pleasing
to the lotus flower. His pleasure-giving potency is known as ahladini, of which
the active principle is Srimati Radharani. She is compared to a creeper with
newly grown flowers and leaves. When the nectar of Krsna’s pastimes is
sprinkled on Srimati Radharani, all Her friends, the gopis, immediately ap-
preciate the pleasure a hundred times more than if they were sprinkled them-
selves. Actually this is not at all wonderful.

PURPORT
This verse is also from Govinda-lilamrta (10.16).
