The Praṇava that sounds in the heart of the universe: listen to it with śraddhā, till your ears rejoice; here is the wish-fulfilling tree that grants desires and Mukti, be sure; do not forget this good word.

We Gopīs have only one mind. It has gone with Kṛṣṇa to Mathurā. So we have no other mind for asking after your welfare, or for listening to the teaching of your yoga,’ they told him flatly. At that one word Uddhava's head spun round.
