The gopis began following Krishna's path, as shown by His many footprints, but when they saw that these prints were thoroughly intermixed with those of His dearmost consort, Srimati Radharani, they became perturbed and spoke as follows: "Here we see the footprints of some gopi who must have been walking along with Krishna. He must have put His arm on Her shoulder, just as an elephant rests His trunk on the shoulder of an accompanying she-elephant. Certainly this particular gopi has perfectly worshiped the all-powerful Personality of Godhead, Govinda, since He was so pleased with Her that He abandoned the rest of us and brought Her to a secluded place, where He is now enjoying pastimes with Her."
