“ ‘Dear Kṛṣṇa, we have simply surrendered ourselves as Your maidservants, for we have seen Your beautiful face decorated with tresses of hair, Your earrings falling upon Your cheeks, the nectar of Your lips, and the beauty of Your smile. Indeed, because we have also been embraced by Your arms, which give us courage, and seen Your chest, which is beautiful and broad, we have surrendered ourselves.’
This verse from ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (10.29.39) was spoken by the gopÄ«s when they arrived near Kṛṣṇa for the rÄsa dance on a full-moon night. The attracted gopÄ«s were awestruck, and they began to speak about how they came to Kṛṣṇa to enjoy the rÄsa dance.
