Text 33] Lord Krgna’s Entrance in Dvaraka 593

PURPORT

Although due to feminine shyness there were many hindrances to
embracing the dear husband Lord Sri Krsna, the queens performed that
act by seeing Him, by putting Him in the core of their hearts, and by
sending their sons to embrace Him. Still, the act remained unfinished, and
tears rolled down their cheeks despite all endeavors to check them. One in-
directly embraces the husband by sending the son to embrace him because
the son is developed as part of the mother’s body. The embrace of the son
is not exactly the embrace of husband and wife from the sexual point of
view, but the embrace is satisfaction from the affectionate point of view.
The embrace of the eyes is more effective in the conjugal relation, and
thus according to Srila Jiva Gosvami there is nothing wrong in such an ex-
change of feeling between husband and wife.
