Text 15
iti prahasitaṁ śaurer
jalpitaṁ cāru-vīkṣitam
gatiṁ prema-pariṣvaṅgaṁ
smarantyo ruruduḥ striyaḥ
iti — thus speaking; prahasitam — the laughter; śaureḥ — of Lord Kṛṣṇa; jalpitam — the pleasing conversations; cāru — attractive; vīkṣitam — the glances; gatim — the walking; prema — loving; pariṣvaṅgam — the embrace; smarantyaḥ — remembering; ruruduḥ — cried; striyaḥ — the women.
While speaking these words, the young cowherd women remembered Lord Śauri’s laughter, His pleasing conversations with them, His attractive glances, His style of walking and His loving embraces. Thus they began to cry.
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī comments as follows: “The gopīs thought, ‘The Kṛṣṇa moon, after piercing our hearts with the darts of His nectarean laughter, went away. So how will the city women not die when He does the same to them?’ Overwhelmed with these thoughts, the young cowherd girls began to cry, even in the presence of Śrī Baladeva.”
