PURPORT
According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, the gopīs then replied, "But that Supreme Lord You are blaming is none other than Yourself, O most clever of speakers. Everyone in the world knows this! Why should we be ignorant of this fact?" "All right," Lord Kṛṣṇa then told them, "if this is true, I must be God, but still I am conquered by your loving affection?'
