Text 208] Explanations of the Atmarama Verse 197

TRANSLATION

“(My dear friend, both Krsna and Balarama are passing through the forest
leading Their cows with Their cowherd boy friends. They both carry ropes
with which, at the time of milking, They bind the rear legs of the cows. When
They play on Their flutes, all moving living entities are stunned, and non-
moving living entities experience ecstatic jubilation by Their sweet music. All
these things are certainly very wonderful.’

PURPORT

This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.21.19). All the gopis were very
attracted to Krsna when they saw Him wandering in the forest with Baladeva.
They thus praised the Lord's activities.
