śrī-gopya ūcuḥ
maivaṁ vibho ’rhati bhavān gadituṁ nṛ-śaṁsaṁ

devo yathādi-puruṣo bhajate mumukṣūn

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

The beautiful gopīs said: O all-powerful one, You should not speak in this cruel way. Do not reject us, who have renounced all material enjoyment to render devotional service to Your lotus feet. Reciprocate with us, O stubborn one, just as the primeval Lord, Śrī Nārāyaṇa, reciprocates with His devotees in their endeavors for liberation.
