aṭati yad bhavān ahni kānanaṁ

jaḍa udīkṣatāṁ pakṣma-kṛd dṛśām

TRANSLATION

[The gopīs say:] "O Kṛṣṇa, when You go to the forest during the day and we do not see Your sweet face, which is surrounded by beautiful curling hair, half a second becomes as long as an entire age for us. And we consider the creator, who has put eyelids on the eyes we use for seeing You, to be simply a fool."


PURPORT

This verse is spoken by the gopīs in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 10.31.15).
