Verse Text
tatra latā, yathā –
sakhi madhu-kiratī niśamya vaṁśīṁ
madhu-mathanena kaṭākṣitātha mṛdvī |
mukula-pulakitā latāvalīyaṁ
ratim iha pallavitāṁ hṛdi vyanakti ||19||
Translation
Creepers: The creepers which had become soft by the glance of Kṛṣṇa are oozing honey on hearing the sound of His flute. They reveal their love for Kṛṣṇa which has sprouted in their hearts by displaying goose bumps in the form of buds sprouting on their limbs.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
There is another version.
samukula-pulakā niśamya vaṁśīṁ nakha-likhitā ca harīm prasajya jātā
tad iha navavayāḥ pratāninīyaṁ lasati yathā bhavatī tatha vārāṅgi
In the forest, this creeper with new branches, hearing the flute, develops goose bumps with its buds. Clinging to the Lord, it has become engraved with His nails. O beautiful woman, it engages in loving affairs just as you do.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
“The gopīs have become purified by Kṛṣṇa’s glance, and as such, Cupid’s influence is distinctly visible on their bodies.” Although in the material sense the glancing of a boy at a girl is a kind of pollution, when Kṛṣṇa threw His transcendental glance at the gopīs, they became purified. In other words, because Kṛṣṇa is the Absolute Truth, any action by Him is transcendentally pure.
