Whatever happened with the gopis, the poet Shyam tells about it saying that they seemed like fish writhing after quarrelling and separating themselves from the sea.480.
The gopis lost consciousness of their bodies and ran like mad men
Someone is getting up and again falling down unconscious and somewhere some woman of Braja is coming running
Being perturbed, they are searching Krishna, with disheveled hair
They are meditating on Krishna in their mind and they are calling for Krishna, kissing the trees.481.
Then leaving the trees, they are asking the bushes of Champak, Maulshri, Taal, Lavanglata, Kachnar etc. for the whereabouts of Krishna, saying
“We are wandering enduring the sunshine over our heads and the pain of thorns in our feet for his sake, tell us where is that Krishna we fall at your feet.”482.
Searching for Krishna, those gopis are wandering there where there are trees of Bel, bushes of Champa, and plants of Maulshri and red rose
The trees of Champak, Maulshri, Lavanglata, Kachnar etc. look impressive and extremely peace-giving cataracts are flowing.483.
Bound in the bond of love for Krishna, the gopis are saying, “Is he not there near the Peepal tree?” And saying this and enduring the sunshine over their heads, they are running hither and thither
Then they hold consultations among themselves why they have left their husbands and are oscillating here and there, but alongwith it they receive this reply from their mind that they are running because they cannot live without Krishna in this way someon
The women of Braja have become mad in his separation and are wandering in the forest like the crying and wandering crane they are not conscious of eating and drinking
Someone droops and falls down on the ground and someone gets up saying where that proud Krishna, increasing his love with us, has gone?485.
Krishna causing his eyes to dance like deer, has stolen the minds of the gopis their mind has been entrapped in the eyes of Krishna and does not move hither and thither for an instant
For him, withholding their breath, they are running hither and thither in the forest and saying, “O relatives of the forest! tell us, on which side Krishna has gone?486.
He, who killed Marich in the forest and destroyed other servants of Ravana he is the one whom we have loved and have endured the satirical sayings of many people
Regarding his delicious eyes all the gopis are saying thus with one voice “Because of the hurt of those eyes, the deer of our mind has become motionless at one place.”487.
He, who given charity to a beggar, he received the reward of one reading of the Vedas who gives to the stranger the food to eat, he receives many rewards
He, who can get us a sight of Krishna for a short while, he can undoubtedly have the gift of our life he will not receive a more assuring reward than this.488.
He, who gave Lanka to Vibishana and in great fury, killed the demons the poet Shyam says that it was he who protected the saints and destroyed the wicked
The same Krishna has given love to us, but has disappeared from our eyes O forest-dwellers! We fall at your feet tell us to which direction Krishan has gone.489.
The gopis searched for Krishna in the forest, but they could not find him then they thought in their mind that he might have gone to that direction
They again think in their mind and associate the string of their mind with that Krishna the poet figuratively says about their running and thinking that they are running hither and thither like a female partridge.490.
The place where they go in search of Krishna, they do not find him the re and in this way like an idol of stone, they return in astonishment
Then they took another step and totally absorbed their mind in Krishna someone sang his qualities and someone wore the impressive garb of Krishna.491.
Someone assumed the garb of Bakasura, someone of Tranavrata and someone of Aghasura and some putting on the garb of Krishna attached them and threw them on the ground
