The priya-narma-sakhas are superior to the suhṛts, sakhas and priya-sakhas, and possess a very special bhāva. They engage in the most confidential pastimes. Subala, Arjuna, Gandharva, Vasanta and Ujjvala are priya-narma-sakhas.
Purport
There are other friends who are still more confidential. They are called priya-narmā, or intimate friends. Counted among the priya-narmā friends are Subala, Arjuna, Gandharva, Vasanta and Ujjvala.
