Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti presents the following insight into this scene: Someone might propose to the gopis, "Why don't you just go somewhere else? Leave Vrindavana, and then you won't have to see these rivers, mountains and forests. Cover your eyes with your garments, use your intelligence to lead your minds to some other thought, and thus forget Krishna." The gopis answer this suggestion in the previous verse by stating, "We no longer possess our intelligence, for Krishna has taken it away by His supreme beauty and charm."

Now in the present verse the feelings of the gopis become so strong that they disregard Uddhava and, turning toward Mathura, address Krishna Himself with humble cries. They address Krishna as Vrajanatha because in the past young Krishna performed many inconceivable pastimes to protect His beloved village people, such as lifting Govardhana Hill and destroying many monstrous demons. In this heartrending verse, the gopis cry out to Krishna to remember the wonderful, sweet relationship they once enjoyed together as innocent village people. Indeed, Sri Krishna would lovingly take care of His father's cows, and the gopis appealed to Him to remember these duties and return so He could resume them.
