Verse Text
yathā vā –
kalayata harir adhvanā sakhāyaḥ
sphuṭam amunā yamunā-taṭīm ayāsīt |
harati pada-tatir yad-akṣiṇī me
dhvaja-kuliśākuśa-paṅkajāṅkiteyam ||379||
Translation
Another example: O friends! Understand that Kṛṣṇa has gone to the bank of the Yamunā by this path for certain, because the markings of the flag, thunderbolt, goad and lotus are attracting my eyes.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Similar feelings were expressed by the gopīs when they were going to the bank of the Yamunā and saw Kṛṣṇa’s footprints in the dust. When Kṛṣṇa walked on the ground of Vṛndāvana, the marks of His sole (flag, thunderbolt, fish, a rod for controlling elephants, and a lotus flower) would be imprinted upon the dust of the land. The gopīs became overwhelmed simply at seeing those marks on the ground.
