TRANSLATION

Singing loudly of Krishna, they searched for Him throughout the Vrindāvana forest like a band of madwomen. They even asked the trees about Him, who as the Supersoul is present inside and outside of all created things, just like the sky.

PURPORT

Lost in the madness of love for Krishna, the gopīs inquired about Him from even the trees in Vrindāvana. Of course, there is no actual separation from Lord Krishna, since He is the all-pervading Supersoul.
