yathā padyāvalyām (172) [Note: Credited to Sarva-vidyā-vinoda.] –
guru-jana-gaṣjanam ayaśo
gṛha-pati-caritaṁ ca dāruṇaṁ kim api |
vismārayati samastaṁ
śiva śiva muralī murārāteḥ ||12||
Translation
From Padyāvalī: How astonishing! The sound of Kṛṣṇa’s flute makes the gopīs forget the scolding of elders, the infamy from breaking social rules, and the terrifying treatment from their husbands.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
In the Padyāvalī of Rūpa Gosvāmī it is stated that when the gopīs hear the sound of Kṛṣṇa’s flute, they immediately forget all rebukes offered by the elderly members of their families. They forget their defamation and the harsh behavior of their husbands. Their only thought is to go out in search of Kṛṣṇa.
