CC Ādi 4.162
gopī-gaṇera premera ‘rūḍha-bhāva’ nāma
viśuddha nirmala prema, kabhu nahe kāma
viśuddha nirmala prema, kabhu nahe kāma
Word for word:
Translation:
The love of the gopīs is called rūḍha-bhāva. It is pure and spotless. It is not at any time lust.
Purport:
As already explained, the position of the gopīs in their loving dealings with Kṛṣṇa is transcendental. Their emotion is called rūḍha-bhāva. Although it is apparently like mundane sex, one should not confuse it with mundane sexual love, for it is pure and unadulterated love of Godhead.
