Sanskrit Original
पयांसि यासामपिबत् पुत्रस्नेहस्नुतान्यलम् । भगवान् देवकीपुत्र: कैवल्याद्यखिलप्रद: ॥ ३९ ॥ तासामविरतं कृष्णे कुर्वतीनां सुतेक्षणम् । न पुन: कल्पते राजन् संसारोऽज्ञानसम्भव: ॥ ४० ॥
payāṁsi yāsām apibat putra-sneha-snutāny alam bhagavān devakī-putraḥ kaivalyādy-akhila-pradaḥ
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is the bestower of many benedictions, including liberation [kaivalya], or oneness with the Brahman effulgence. For that Personality of Godhead, the gopīs always felt maternal love, and Kṛṣṇa sucked their breasts with full satisfaction. Therefore, because of their relationship as mother and son, although the gopīs were engaged in various family activities, one should never think that they returned to this material world after leaving their bodies.
