sri-suka uvaca
tathanugrhya bhagavan
gopinam sa gurur gatih
yudhisthiram athaprcchat
sarvams ca suhrdo ’vyayam
Translation:
Sukadeva Gosvami said: Thus Lord Krsna, the spiritual master of the gopis and the very purpose of their life, showed them His mercy. He then met with Yudhisthira and all His other relatives and inquired from them about their welfare.
Purport:
The words gurur gatih have been translated here in their usual sense: “spiritual master and goal.” Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti, however, points out an additional meaning: While Lord Krsna is the goal for all sadhus in general, for the gopis specifically He is that goal which is guru, “predominant,” in the sense of completely eclipsing the significance of all other possible goals.
