Translation

From attaining one’s desired object, from the Tenth Canto: Upon the shoulder of one gopī Kṛṣṇa placed His arm, whose natural blue-lotus fragrance was mixed with that of the sandalwood pulp anointing it. As the gopī relished that fragrance, her bodily hair stood on end in jubilation, and she kissed His arm. SB 10.33.11

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

It is stated in the Tenth Canto, Thirty-third Chapter, verse 11, of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, “Upon seeing that Kṛṣṇa’s arm was placed on her shoulder, one of the gopīs engaged in the rāsa dance became so ecstatically happy that she kissed Kṛṣṇa on His cheek.” This is an instance of feeling happiness because of achieving a desired goal.
