Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Madhya 1.82
তোমার চরণ মোর ব্রজপুরঘরে ।
উদয় করয়ে যদি, তবে বাঞ্ছা পূরে ॥ ৮২ ॥
tomāra caraṇa mora vraja-pura-ghare
udaya karaye yadi, tabe vāñchā pūre
The gopīs thought, “Dear Lord, if Your lotus feet again come to our home in Vṛndāvana, our desires will be fulfilled.”
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The gopīs serve the Lord without motive. They are attracted to Kṛṣṇa as a cowherd boy, not by His opulence or by understanding that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Kṛṣṇa is attracted by their pure devotional service, not by their opulence or personal beauty. Already transcendentally enlightened, they engage their purified senses in His service.
The gopīs want Kṛṣṇa to return to Vṛndāvana so they can serve Him for His pleasure. Their desire contains not even a tinge of personal sense gratification.
