Gopis address Lord Krishna as ‘kaant’(pinnacle of joy)- ‘Ka’ denotes joy and ‘ant’ means end line. So having Him implies having all the joys. But His act of hiding is His ‘kapat’ (impeding their joy) as ‘pat’ means barrier. Gopis say to Lord Krishna, “You only made us love You, pampered us too and then suddenly dumped us.” Your absence is now sucking life out of us and you are carefree about it. Despite Your butcher like behavior, we are enduring it just to save you from the slur of our murder."
