TRANSLATION

“Favoring them, Krsna rides on the chariot of the minds of the gopis, and
just to receive loving service from them, He attracts their minds like Cupid.
Therefore He is also called Madana-mohana, the attractor of Cupid. Cupid has
five arrows, representing form, taste, smell, sound and touch. Krsna is the
owner of these five arrows, and with His Cupid-like beauty, He conquers the
minds of the gopis, though they are very proud of their superexcellent beauty.
Becoming a new Cupid, Krsna attracts their minds and engages in the rasa
dance.
