PURPORT

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti comments that the gopis would render service to Lord Krsna by stringing flower garlands, skillfully using perfumes, and constructing fans, beds and canopies out of flower petals. By these simple acts of love, the gopis rendered the greatest service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
