Ki Ye Suni Sudhamaya Muralira Rava
Hearing that nectar-filled sound of the flute, all the gopis rush out, unable even to arrange their garments.
Some put their foot-ornaments on their hands; some apply the eye-liner to only half an eye.
Some leave their homes and run into the forest; that gopi even leaves her nursing child at the breast and goes.
One gopi was held back and restrained by her husband — yet out of love for Syama she gave up her very body.
That same woman reached ahead of all the other gopis. Govinda Dasa says: to what can this be compared?
About Ki Ye Suni Sudhamaya Muralira Rava
This Govinda Dasa Kaviraja pada describes the instant the gopis abandon every household task at the sound of Krishna's flute — putting anklets on their hands, lining only one eye with kohl, running into the forest mid-nursing. Its final verse recalls the gopi physically restrained by her husband who nonetheless gives up her body out of longing and so reaches Krishna ahead of all the others, an episode later cited by Rupa Goswami as the clearest illustration of spontaneous devotion overriding worldly restraint.
