66 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 2
PURPORT
In His boyhood at Vrndavana, Lord Krsna was notorious as a teasing
friend in transcendental love to all the girls His age. His love for them was
so intense that there is no comparison to that ecstasy, and the damsels of
Vraja were so much attached to Him that their affection excelled that of
the great demigods like Brahma and Siva. Lord Krsna finally admitted His
defeat before the transcendental affection of the gopis and declared that
He was unable to repay them for their unalloyed affection. Although the
gopis were seemingly anguished by the Lord’s teasing behavior, when
Krsna would leave them they could not tolerate the separation and used to
follow Him with their eyes and minds. They were so stunned by the
situation that they could not finish their household duties. No one could
excel Him even in the dealing of love exchanged between boys and girls. It
is said in the revealed scriptures that Lord Krsna personally never goes
beyond the boundary of Vrndavana. He remains there eternally because of
the transcendental love of the inhabitants. Thus even though He is not
visible at present, He is not away from Vrndavana for a moment.
