Translation

The gopīs again came to the bank of the Kālindī. Meditating on Kṛṣṇa and eagerly hoping He would come, they sat down together to sing of Him.

Purport

As stated in the Kaṭha Upaniṣad (1.2.23), yam evaiṣa vṛṇute tena labhyaḥ: “The Supersoul can be realized by that person whom He chooses.” Thus the gopīs fervently pray that Kṛṣṇa come back to them.

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Thirtieth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Gopīs Search for Kṛṣṇa.”
