Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.33.1
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
su-peśalāḥ
—
most charming
Su (very) + peśala (graceful, tender). Kṛṣṇa's words in chapter 32 were charming because they accepted the gopīs' love on the gopīs' terms. Gauḍīyas note: it is not argument but mādhurya that ends viraha-tāpa.
-
viraha-jam
—
born of separation
Compound: viraha (separation) + ja (born). The technical Gauḍīya term for vipralambha — separation that intensifies prema. Here Śuka shows that even viraha is medicinal: it ripens the rasa it seems to wound.
-
tat-aṅga-upacita-āśiṣaḥ
—
whose desires are fulfilled by the touch of His limbs
Sub-compound (joined contiguous synonyms). Āśis = blessing/desire; upacita = filled, completed. Gauḍīyas: the gopīs' āśīs is not material — what fulfills them is Kṛṣṇa's body itself, the goal not the means.
-
gopyaḥ
—
the cowherd girls
Rūpa Gosvāmī (Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi) classes the vraja-gopīs as the topmost reservoir of mādhurya-rasa — śuddha-sattva personified. The word does not name a sociological group but a rasa-tattva.
The thirty third chapter describes the rasa dance, various amusements, playing in the water and the conversion between Sukadeva and Pariksit. The gopis, whose lust was increased by his touch, hearing his attractive words (supesala), gave up their pain of separation. Another meaning is "The gopis gave up their pain on hearing the attractive words of Krsna, whose joy increased by the touch of their bodies." Because the gopis indignation has died through the questions and answers of the previous chapter, the amusements of embracing and kissing etc. could now take place.
The rāsa dance, which reveals clearly that the gopīs are superior to Lakṣmī, is most attractive for the whole universe. Hearing these most attractive words of the Lord, the gopīs gave up their pain produces by separation in the past and the future, since they heard that he actually did not reject them, and since they gave up worry that he would not reject them again, even if he were to be separated from them by fate, and since he had expressed his indebtedness to them. Though it was said in SB 10.32.9 that they gave up the pain of separation, it is repeated here to show that they gave up the pain completely now. Their desires were fulfilled by embracing him and holding his hand. Or, the last phrase can modify bhagavataḥ. When Kṛṣṇa was fully satisfied by the limbs of the gopīs because of their sweet words, the gopīs gave up their pain.
Hearing the most attractive (supeśalāh) words of Bhagavān, who revealed his unlimited nature by these words, they gave up the pain from past and future separation. This is a repetition of a previous statement, because they had not completely given up separation. Now they completely gave up their pain, thinking that there would no longer be any separation, since he had explained his indebtedness. They gave up their pain because they were filled with natural prema-rasa (gopyaḥ). Their desires were fulfilled by embracing him and holding his hands. Or because of his skilful words they felt their desires fulfilled in all their limbs.
When Kṛṣṇa's words touched their ears, the gopīs' separation-fever broke the way fever breaks when the doctor lays his hand on the forehead — not by argument, but by contact. Bhagavān's voice and Bhagavān's limbs are the same medicine in two forms.
Caitanya-caritāmṛta records that Mahāprabhu would alternately weep in viraha and laugh in milana — the same Body of the Lord moving through both. When He saw Rādhā-kuṇḍa He fell flat, all separation suddenly dissolved into the touch of the dust itself.
Gauḍīyas read 10.33.1 in that key: viraha-jaṁ tāpam is not punishment, it is the cooked condition in which Kṛṣṇa's touch becomes nectar. The gopīs' fever is the priesthood that consecrates the meeting.
