I am not able to repay My debt for your spotless service, even within a lifetime of Brahma. Your connection with Me is beyond reproach. You have worshiped Me, cutting off all domestic ties, which are difficult to break. Therefore please let your own glorious deeds be your compensation.

PURPORT

The translation and word meanings for this verse are taken from Srila Prabhupada's English rendering of Sri Caitanya-caritamrita (Adi 4.180).

In conclusion, the gopis became eternally glorious by their behavior in the Lord's temporary absence, and the mutual love between them and the Lord was wonderfully enhanced. This is the perfection of Krishna and His loving devotees.

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A . C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Tenth Canto, Thirty-second Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "The Reunion."
