1.2.7

[4] yadā tu śrīla-gopāla-līlā-gāna-grahilā mahilā gātum ārabdhās tadā sarva eva satṛṣṇās tūṣṇīm āsan, kṛṣṇa-muralī-kākalīm anu kokilā iva | yad eva gānaṃ vaidagdhī-digdha-kaṅkanādi-jhaṅkārālaṅkṛta-manthāna-nirghoṣaḥ svara-tālādi-dānam iva kurvāṇaḥ sva-poṣaṃ pupoṣa |

When, however, the women, eager to sing the pastimes of the glorious Gopāla, began to sing, all people became silent with longing, like cuckoos following the soft low notes of Kṛṣṇa's flute. That very singing was nurtured to fullness by the deep sound of churning-rods, adorned with the jingling of bracelets touched with artistic grace, as if providing the notes and rhythm.
