śrī-śuka uvāca
evaṁ bruvāṇā virahāturā bhṛśaṁ
vraja-striyaḥ kṛṣṇa-viṣakta-mānasāḥ
visṛjya lajjāṁ ruruduḥ sma su-svaraṁ
govinda dāmodara mādhaveti

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: After speaking these words, the ladies of Vraja, who were so attached to Kṛṣṇa, felt extremely agitated by their imminent separation from Him. They forgot all shame and loudly cried out, “O Govinda! O Dāmodara! O Mādhava!”

PURPORT

For a long time the gopīs had carefully hidden their conjugal love for Kṛṣṇa. But now that Kṛṣṇa was leaving, the gopīs were so distressed that they could no longer hide their feelings.
