332 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 14
TRANSLATION
““‘The damsels of Vrndavana, the gopis, are super goddesses of fortune.
The enjoyer in Vrndavana is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna. The
trees there are all wish-fulfilling trees, and the land is made of transcendental
touchstone. The water is all nectar, the talking is singing, the walking is danc-
ing, and the constant companion of Krsna is His flute. The effulgence of tran-
scendental bliss is experienced everywhere. Therefore Vrndavana-dhama is
the only relishable abode.’
PURPORT
This is a quotation from Brahma-samhitd (5.56).

TRANSLATION
“‘The anklets on the damsels of Vraja-bhami are made of cintamani stone.
The trees are wish-fulfilling trees, and they produce flowers with which the
gopis decorate themselves. There are also wish-fulfilling cows [kama-
dhenus], which deliver unlimited quantities of milk. These cows constitute
the wealth of Vrndavana. Thus Vrndavana’s opulence is blissfully exhibited.’ ”
