tan-manaskās tad-alāpās

tad-viceṣṭās tad-ātmikāḥ

tad-guṇān eva gāyantyo

nātmagārāṇi sasmaruḥ

SYNONYMS

tat-manaskāḥ — their minds filled with thoughts of Him; tat-ālāpāḥ — conversing about Him; tat-viceṣṭāḥ — imitating His activities; tat-ātmikāḥ — filled with His presence; tat-guṇān — about His qualities; eva — simply; gāyantyaḥ — singing; na — not; ātma — their own; āgārāṇi — homes; sasmaruḥ — remembered.

TRANSLATION

Their minds absorbed in thoughts of Him, they conversed about Him, acted out His pastimes and felt themselves filled with His presence. They completely forgot about their homes as they loudly sang the glories of Kṛṣṇa's transcendental qualities.

PURPORT

Actually there is no separation from Kṛṣṇa for the pure devotees of the Lord. Although apparently abandoned by Kṛṣṇa, the gopīs were actually tightly connected to Him by the spiritual process of śravaṇaḿ kīrtanaḿ viṣṇoḥ [SB 7.5.23], hearing and chanting the glories of the Lord.
