apy ena-patny upagatah priyayeha gatrais
tanvan drsam sakhi su-nirvrtim acyuto vah
kantanga-sanga-kuca-kunkuma-rañjitayah
kunda-srajah kula-pater iha vati gandhah
Translation:
O friend, wife of the deer, has Lord Acyuta been here with His beloved, bringing great joy to your eyes? Indeed, blowing this way is the fragrance of His garland of kunda flowers, which was smeared with the kunkuma from the breasts of His girlfriend when He embraced Her.
Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti provides the following charming commentary on this verse:
“The gopis spoke to a doe, ‘O friend, wife of the deer, from the bliss in your clear eyes we can tell that Sri Krsna has expanded your joy with the beauty of His limbs, His face and so forth. You are eager to realize the ecstasy of seeing Krsna, and thus your eyes are following Him. In fact, He is never lost to you.’
“Then the gopis, seeing the doe continue to walk in her natural way, exclaimed, ‘Oh, are you telling us that you have seen Krsna? Look! As this deer walks she constantly turns her head back to us, as if to say, “I will show Him to you; just follow me and I will show you Krsna.” In this merciless Vrndavana, she is the only merciful person.’
“As the gopis follow the doe they happen to lose sight of her, and they cry out, ‘Oh, why can’t we see the deer who is showing us the way to Krsna?’
“One gopi suggests that Krsna must be somewhere in the vicinity and that the deer, being afraid of Him, must have hidden herself to avoid the possible mistake of revealing His presence. Conjecturing in this way, the gopis detect a fragrance that has by chance blown their way, and they repeatedly declare with great joy, ‘Yes! Yes! This is it! By Krsna’s physical contact with His girlfriend, His jasmine garland was smeared with the kunkuma powder on Her breasts, and the fragrances of all these things are reaching us.’ Thus the gopis smelled the aroma of the two lovers’ bodies, of Krsna’s jasmine garland, and of the cosmetic powder on the breasts of His lover.”
