gati -- in His movements; smita -- smiling; prekshana -- beholding; bhashana -- talking; adishu -- and so on; priyah -- the dear gopis; priyasya -- of their beloved; pratirudha -- fully absorbed; murtayah -- their bodies; asau -- He; aham -- I; tu -- actually; iti -- speaking thus; abalah -- the women; tat-atmikah -- identifying with Him; nyavedishuh -- they announced; krishna-vihara -- caused by the pastimes of Krishna; vibhramah -- whose intoxication.

Because the beloved gopis were absorbed in thoughts of their beloved Krishna, their bodies imitated His way of moving and smiling, His way of beholding them, His speech and His other distinctive features. Deeply immersed in thinking of Him and maddened by remembering His pastimes, they declared to one another, "I am Krishna!"
