“The vibration of His flute slackens the knots of their underwear even in
front of their husbands. Thus the gopis are forced to abandon their household
duties and come before Lord Krsna. In this way all social etiquette, shame and
fear are vanquished. The vibration of His flute causes all women to dance.

TRANSLATION
“The vibration of His flute is just like a bird that creates a nest within the
ears of the gopis and always remains prominent there, not allowing any other
sound to enter their ears. Indeed, the gopis cannot hear anything else, nor are
they able to concentrate on anything else, not even to give a suitable reply.
Such are the effects of the vibration of Lord Krsna’s flute.’’
