yathā vā –
tvaṁ cumbako ’si mādhava loha-mayī nūnam aṅganā-jātiḥ |
dhāvati tatas tato’sau yato yataḥ krīḍayā bhramasi ||168||
Translation
Another example: O Mādhava! You are a magnet and certain women are iron. Wherever You wander in play, they run after You.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
This verse clarifies His nature of attracting women by giving an analogy. The word aṅganā-jātiḥ indicates a particular group of women.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
… and each and every one of them was attracted to Kṛṣṇa just as iron is attracted by a magnet. There is a statement by a devotee: “My dear Lord, You are just like a magnet, and all the damsels of Vraja are just like iron: in whichever direction You are moving they are following You, as iron is attracted by magnetic force.”
