English	“Seeing the fearful giant bull, the gopīs, due to the madness of love, embrace the tamāla trees, which resemble Kṛṣṇa’s bodily hue.” The gopīs are the most intimate devotees of Kṛṣṇa and exhibit highest love of God. Sometimes the intensity of their love causes them to act in transcendental madness.
