“ ‘All the gopÄ«s, the personal friends of ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī, are equal to Her. Kṛṣṇa is pleasing to the inhabitants of VrajabhÅ«mi, just as the moon is pleasing to the lotus flower. His pleasure-giving potency is known as ÄhlÄdinÄ«, of which the active principle is ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī. She is compared to a creeper with newly grown flowers and leaves. When the nectar of Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes is sprinkled on ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī, all Her friends, the gopÄ«s, immediately appreciate the pleasure a hundred times more than if they were sprinkled themselves. Actually this is not at all wonderful.’
This verse is also from the Govinda-lÄ«lÄmá¹›ta (10.16).
