grāmyāḥ salajja-smita-vibhramair bhraman

 

TRANSLATION

O gopīs, although our Mukunda is intelligent and very obedient to His parents, once He has fallen under the spell of the honey-sweet words of the women of Mathurā and been enchanted by their alluring, shy smiles, how will He ever return to us unsophisticated village girls?

iti te bhagavad-yācñāṁ

śṛṇvanto ’pi na śuśruvuḥ

kṣudrāśā bhūri-karmāṇo

bāliśā vṛddha-māninaḥ

The brāhmaṇas heard this supplication from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, yet they refused to pay heed. Indeed, they were full of petty desires and entangled in elaborate rituals. Though presuming themselves advanced in Vedic learning, they were actually inexperienced fools.

na nanda-sūnuḥ kṣaṇa-bhaṅga-sauhṛdaḥ
