Another example: O Subala! Please tell us where your dear friend Kṛṣṇa is. While throwing side glances endowed with a gentle smile and placing His arm on your raised shoulder while stand in the yard, He would inundate our eyes with waves of nectar.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
There is a statement by a gopī who addressed Subala, a friend of Kṛṣṇa: “My dear Subala, I know that Kṛṣṇa is your friend and that you always enjoy smiling and joking with Him. The other day I saw you both standing together. You were keeping your hand upon Kṛṣṇa’s shoulder, and both of you were joyfully smiling. When I saw the two of you standing like that in the distance, my eyes at once became overflooded with tears.”
