Sadguru Nishkulanand Swami narrates the pains of the Gopis. The Gopis cried profusely and lamented in deep pain of separation when they returned to their conscious state. They tried their best to keep Shree Krishna with them, but they failed to stop the journey. Now when would they see Shree Krishna again? It was almost dusk.
(Their feet refused to walk homeward. They walked hesitantly homeward and drew back their feet. The sight of Krishna’s footprints gave them pinching pain of separation. With love and respect they took the dust of the sacred prints and in obeisance they put it on their head. They saluted it repeatedly by bowing their body and praying to him to come soon.)
Their feet refused to walk homeward. The footprints of God reminded them about the separation. To pay respect, they put the dust on their head. They prayed collectively for his quick return.
Pada - 4
(There is no remedy upon this earth or else how do we remove the pains of love.)
(There is no medicine to cure a Chakravaak. A Chakravaak (a bird by that name) suffers great pain in the light of the sun, a man pains through nectar and an elephant burns in the cool water of Ganga).
What else would give pleasure if a man is pained by nectar and an elephant receives burns in the cool water of Ganga? The Gopis believe that Shree Krishna is the eternal source of devotional pleasure. The unconscious Gopis collapse on the earth while remembering Shree Krishna. They arise and lament again and again in separation when they come back to conscious state.
