śrī-śuka uvāca
iti vipriyam ākarṇya
gopyo govinda-bhāṣitam
viṣaṇṇā bhagna-sańkalpāś
cintām āpur duratyayām
sri-sukah uvaca -- Sukadeva Gosvami said; iti -- thus; vipriyam -- unpleasant; akarnya -- hearing; gopyah -- the gopis; govinda-bhashitam -- the words spoken by Govinda; vishannah -- becoming morose; bhagna -- thwarted; sankalpah -- their strong desires; cintam -- anxiety; apuh -- they experienced; duratyayam -- insurmountable.
Sukadeva Gosvami said: Hearing these unpleasant words spoken by Govinda, the gopis became morose. Their great hopes were frustrated and they felt insurmountable anxiety.
The gopis did not know what to do. They considered falling at Krishna's feet and crying for His mercy, or perhaps remaining aloof and going back to their homes. But they could do neither of these things and so felt great anxiety.
