Translation

“Their heartache vanquished by the ecstasy of seeing Kṛṣṇa, the gopīs, like the personified Vedas before them, felt their desires completely fulfilled. For their dear friend Kṛṣṇa they arranged a seat with their shawls which were smeared with the kuṅkuma powder from their breasts.”

Bhaktivedanta Purport

By Śrīla Prabhupāda

In the Eighty-seventh Chapter of this canto (text 23), the śrutis, or personified Vedas, pray as follows: striya uragendra-bhoga-bhuja-daṇḍa-viṣakta-dhiyovayam api te samāḥ samadṛśo ’ṅghri-saroja-sudhāḥ “These women fully absorbed their minds in meditation on Lord Kṛṣṇa’s powerful arms, which are like the bodies of great serpents. We want to become just like the gopīs and render service to His lotus feet.” The śrutis had seen Kṛṣṇa during His appearance in the previous day of Brahmā and had become full of the most intense desire to associate with Him. Then in this kalpa they became gopīs. And since the Vedas are eternal in human society, the śrutis in this kalpa also become full of desire for Kṛṣṇa and in the next kalpa will also become gopīs. This information is given by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura.
