TEXT 187

gopīkā-darśane kṛṣṇera ye ānanda haya
tāhā haite koṭi-guṇa gopī āsvādaya


SYNONYMS

gopikā-darśane—in seeing the gopīs; kṛṣṇera—of Lord Kṛṣṇa; ye—whatever; ānanda—joy; haya—there is; tāhā haite—than that; koṭi-guṇa—ten million times more; gopī—the gopīs; āsvādaya—taste.


TRANSLATION

The gopīs taste a pleasure ten million times greater than the pleasure Lord Kṛṣṇa derives from seeing them.


PURPORT

The wonderful characteristics of the gopīs are beyond imagination. They have no desire for personal satisfaction, yet when Kṛṣṇa is happy by seeing them, that happiness of Kṛṣṇa makes the gopīs a million times more happy than Kṛṣṇa Himself.
