10.47.57
dṛṣṭvaivam-ādi gopīnāṃ kṛṣṇāveśātma-viklavam /
uddhavaḥ parama-prītas tā namasyann idaṃ jagau //
57. To observe such yearning disappointment felt by the Gopis in their devotion to Krishna, Uddhava was very much delighted and with a feeling of high esteem sang of them as follows:—
10.47.57.p1
etāḥ paraṃ tanu-bhṛto bhuvi gopa-vadhvo $ govinda eva nikhilātmani rūḍha-bhāvāḥ &
58. Really these Gopa women have a most worthy human life (body) on the earth, since their heart is (thus) rooted only in Govinda, the Atman of all—a state which sages as well as we, His devotees afraid of samsara, seek to attain. What necessity is there for one to be born many a time as a brahmin or even as the four-faced Brahma, if he only feel such fascination for the accounts of the Unlimited Lord?
