PURPORT
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī reveals the gopīs' thoughts: "We are not like You, who, with Your heart shattered by remembering us day and night, gave up all sense enjoyment in Your distress of separation. Rather, we have not remembered You at all; in fact, we have been quite happy without You." In response, Krishna here asks whether they resent His ingratitude.
