The women of Vraja, after pastimes of laughter, rasas and exchanges of glances, followed him with their eyes when he left, and thus they sat down with stunned intelligence and could not finish their household duties. But the attraction of the gopīs for Kṛṣṇa was much greater than all others in the universe including Brahmā and Indra, because Kṛṣṇa did not respect these devatās as much as he respected the gopīs. Having great respect for Kṛṣṇa after he had respected them by his playful glances and by all rasas accompanied by smiles permeated with love (anurāga-pluta), the women of Vraja, whose minds followed him with their eyes, at that moment remained standing, unable to move at all because of paralysis due to ecstasy. They stopped all activities such as cleaning, smearing cow dung, churning yogurt, and serving food. Even in the midst of doing activities, if they happened to see him suddenly, they remained motionless, not completing their chores. This love which astonished the whole universe including Kṛṣṇa himself, and the bewilderment it created in the women of Vraja, arose from the profusion of their prema. By repeated descriptions of Kṛṣṇa’s human pastimes, the eternal position of his abodes of Gokula, Mathurā and Dvārakā, compared to the rising and setting of the sun, is suggested.
