SB 10.15.43

What did the gopis do when they approached Krsna? This verse answers. They drank with their eyes in the form of bees the honey (saragham) of Mukunda’s face. The gopis, who were not seen by Krsna, did not just glance upon him but with full open eyes stared at him when no one was looking. Then in a moment, when they caught Krsna’s attention, those gopis broke into smiles, out of joy. Then out of bashfulness they stopped their open eyes and smiles by covering their mouths with their left hands and pulling their veils over their eyes. This showed a sense of submission (vinaya) on their part. In this way Krsna became aware of the great sweetness of the gopis’ love. He took their gazing as an offering (tat satkrti). Accepting those glances (sam adhigamya) with complete relish, because he is the most clever at loving affairs, he entered the village. In the two actions of offering and accepting, and the bashful smiling etc, there is a meaning. Their offering of respect was their bashful laughing and submission. His acceptance of that offering that had to be tasted is indicated by his releasing glances (apanga moksa). In response to the gopis’ offering of bashful laughing and gazing, Krsna responded by acceptance, with glances towards them. One can elaborate the scene as follows. Taking the flower of their glances offered by their servants called the sancari bhava of enthusiasm in the hands of their eyes, and the taking flower of their smiles offered by servants called the sancari bhava of joy in their hands made of their delicate lips, they approached Krsna saying, " Take these two things, all that we have in our house." When, in order to accept the gifts, Krsna engaged his servant in the form of his glance. His crafty glance became eager to steal the gifts.which were previously held within the gopis houses, Therefore Krsna withdrew his glance to himself. When the gopis revealed these gifts, then the glance of Krsna freed itself and with great vigor like a warrior, quickly approached the gopis and began to steal the two gifts. But then their friend in the form of bashfulness, who has the ability to cover things, appeared and began to hide the two gifts. As a fight broke out between them, the associate of the gopis called vinaya (submission) arrived. But Krsna’s servant in the form of his glance forcible took the gift of the gopis’ glance along with both bashfulness and submission, and offered them to Krsna. Krsna received these three like a great valuable jewel and placed them with care in the center of his temple in the form of his heart. This is the implication of the word satkara (offering). Although bashfulness and other words have their own power of implication, because satkara and moksa have such great implications they have been explained here in detail. Another meaning is as follows. The young women of Vraja gave up the pain they experienced during the day. He accepted with respect (satkara) their shy glances (apanga moksa) which were like bashfully controlled smiles, and entered the village.
