श्रीशुक उवाच एवं ब्रुवाणा विरहातुरा भृशं व्रजस्त्रिय: कृष्णविषक्तमानसा: । विसृज्य लज्जां रुरुदु: स्म सुस्वरं गोविन्द दामोदर माधवेति ॥ ३१ ॥
śrī-śuka uvāca evaṁ bruvāṇā virahāturā bhṛśaṁ vraja-striyaḥ kṛṣṇa-viṣakta-mānasāḥ visṛjya lajjāṁ ruruduḥ sma su-svaraṁ govinda dāmodara mādhaveti
舒迦提婆说：说完这些话，心系奎师那的弗拉阇女子因将要与他分离而极度悲恸；她们忘却羞怯，高声哭喊：“噢，戈文达！噢，达摩达罗！噢，玛达瓦！”
For a long time the gopīs had carefully hidden their conjugal love for Kṛṣṇa. But now that Kṛṣṇa was leaving, the gopīs were so distressed that they could no longer hide their feelings.
FAQs
In this verse the gopīs call out three intimate names of Kṛṣṇa—Govinda (protector of cows and senses), Dāmodara (the Lord bound by mother Yaśodā’s love), and Mādhava (beloved of Lakṣmī and springtime sweetness)—expressing pure, helpless longing in separation.
They are overwhelmed by viraha (separation) from Kṛṣṇa; their minds are fully attached to Him, so abandoning social shyness they openly weep and chant His names.
Cultivate remembrance of God through heartfelt nāma-smaraṇa (repeating the Lord’s names), especially during distress—turning separation, anxiety, or emptiness into sincere prayer and deeper devotion.
