Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
In this connection it is stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, “All the sixteen thousand wives of Kṛṣṇa were so exquisitely beautiful that their smiling and shyness were able to captivate the minds of great demigods like Lord Śiva. But still they could not even agitate the mind of Kṛṣṇa, in spite of their attractive feminine behavior.” Every one of the thousands of wives of Kṛṣṇa was thinking that Kṛṣṇa was captivated by her feminine beauty, but this was not the case. Kṛṣṇa is therefore the supreme controller of the senses, and this is admitted in Bhagavad-gītā, where He is addressed as Hṛṣīkeśa—the master of the senses.
Cupid (madanaḥ) was smitten by the queens’ smiles and bashful glances (hāsa-vrīḍāvaloka), indicating (piśuna) deep love (uddāma-bhāva), which were pure and attractive (amala-valgu). The strength of Cupid’s weapons which cause desire disappeared on seeing the queens’ intense love. This means that, being bewildered, he did not use his bow for firing arrows to inflame passion (saṁmuhya capām ajahāt). Thus, it is also said bhrū-pallavaṁ dhanur apāṅga-taraṅgitāni vāṇaḥ: their brows were bows and their glances were the arrows. (Gīta-govinda 3.13) This is an image to show the great attractiveness of the queens. Such queens had reached the most excellent position by their display of bliss arising from their exalted prema (pramadottamāḥ). In their group, some women, desiring a position similar to those queens who had a high level of spontaneous prema, could not bewilder the senses of Kṛṣṇa to the same degree as the queens did, with their smiles and glances, which were somewhat false because of lacking the prema of the exalted queens (kuhakaiḥ). However, they could bewilder the senses of Kṛṣṇa according to their level of prema.
