Speech of Krishna addressed to gopis:
SWAYYA
“What the mother will say on hearing about me? But alongwith it, all the women of Braja will know about it
I know that you are greatly foolish, therefore you are talking foolishly”
Krishna added, “You do not know as yet the mode of amorous pastime (Ras-Lila), but all of you are dear to me
I have stolen your clothes for the amorous play with you.”260.
Speech of gopis:
SWAYYA
Then gopis talking amongst themselves, said to Krishna
“We swear by Balram and Yashoda, please do not annoy us
“O Krishna! think in your mind, you will not gain anything in this
You hand over the clothes to us in water, we all shall bless you.”261.
Speech of the gopis:
SWAYYA
Then the gopis said to Krishna, “The love is not observed by force
The love that is created on seeing with eyes is the actual love.”
Krishna said smilingly, “See, do not make me understand the mode of amorous pastime
With the support of eyes, the love is then performed with hands.”262.
The gopis said again, “O son of Nand! give us the clothes, we are good women
We will never come to have bath here.”
Krishna replied, “Alright come out of the water immediately and bow before me,”
He added smilingly, “Be quick, I shall give you the clothes just now.”263
