te sarve strītvam āpannāh samudbhūtāś ca gokule |
hariṃ samprāpya kāmena tato muktā bhavārṇavāt ||iti |
[39] kintu, nāsūyan khalu kṛṣṇaya [BhP 10.33.37] ity ukta-diśā tadīyās tu na tad ūhitum īśāmāsur iti jñeyam | yac ca jighāmsayāpi haraye stanaṃ dattvāpi sad-gatim [BhP 10.6.35] ity asya sadṛśena tam eva paramātmānaṃ jāra-buddhyāpi ity ādinā sādhanasya nikarṣa-rūpam aper abhidheyaṃ phalasya tu sarvottama-rūpatvaṃ pratipadyate |

“They all attained womanhood and were born in Gokula; / having obtained Hari through desire, they were then freed from the ocean of worldly existence.”
[39] But it should be understood that, according to the principle stated in “they indeed did not envy Kṛṣṇa” [BhP 10.33.37], their [husbands and relatives] were unable to infer that. And just as with “even giving her breast to Hari out of a desire to kill him, she attained an exalted state” [BhP 10.6.35], so here with “approaching that supreme soul, even with the conception of him as a paramour,” the word “even” (api) denotes the inferiority of the means, while the nature of the fruit is understood to be the very highest.
