- The gopis are forbidden by their in-laws to meet Krsna, but their hearts have already been stolen.
- The gopis stay at home, talking krsna-katha to each other. With their transcendental vision, intoxicated, they see Krsna playing the flute and playing with His friends.
- Purvaraga, before the meeting, the beloved and the lover feel deep attachment to each other.
- The gopis do not see the beautiful form of Krsna directly, it is like a television.
- The gopis think about how fortunate the trees, birds, deer and cows of Vrndavana are to be able to meet Krsna directly.
- The gopis glorify Krsna’s flute, while forgetting their bodily conception. Conditioned souls never forget their bodily conception.
- The maha-bhava of the gopis is intense in separation: a second away from Krsna seems to last millions and millions of ages.
- When the gopis feel separation, the whole world trembles.
- The gopis think: if with our female body we cannot see Krsna, it is better to be born as trees or deer, as no one will stop us.
- The maha-bhava of the gopis is disturbing.
- Upon hearing the sound of Govinda’s flute, the beings of Vrndavana become intoxicated.
- The birds chirp and when they hear Krsna’s flute on the fifth note, they sing in the same tone.
- Krsna’s flute plays seven notes.
- When the Deity is installed, it becomes necessary to do kirtan daily, otherwise She will curse. Hari Bhakti Vilasa explains, the Deity is not a stone.
