THEY DO NOT ALLOW US
The gopis are saying, Devyo vimana-gatayah smara-nunna-sara. “We want to be demigoddesses. We want to die at once. These demigoddesses are helped by their husbands who brought them here in airplanes. We want to be demigoddesses so that even if we are married, no harm. We will come and take the darsana of Krishna, and we will see this rasa-lila. Now we cannot. Our husbands are like demons. They don’t allow us.’
