WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
 | The highest religious duty for a woman is to sincerely serve her husband, behave well toward her husband’s family and take good care of her children.
|
PURPORT
| | Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī astutely points out here that the gopīs’ real, eternal husband is Lord Kṛṣṇa, not their so-called husbands at home, who falsely considered the gopīs their property. Thus a strict interpretation of the word amāyayā, “without illusion,” reveals that the supreme religious duty for the gopīs is to serve Śrī Kṛṣṇa, their real lover.
