नाभ्यजानन्निमं लोकमात्मलोकं गता इव ॥ १५ ॥

anyāś ca tad-anudhyāna
nivṛttāśeṣa-vṛttayaḥ
nābhyajānann imaṁ lokam
ātma-lokaṁ gatā iva

Synonyms

anyāḥ — others; ca — and; tat — on Him; anudhyāna — by fixed meditation; nivṛtta — ceased; aśeṣa — all; vṛttayaḥ — their sensory functions; na abhyajānan — they were unaware; imam — of this; lokam — world; ātma — of self-realization; lokam — the realm; gatāḥ — those who have attained; iva — just as.

Translation

Other gopīs entirely stopped their sensory activities and became fixed in meditation on Kṛṣṇa. They lost all awareness of the external world, just like those who attain the platform of self-realization.

Purport

The gopīs were in fact already on the platform of self-realization. The Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 20.108) states, jīvera svarūpa haya kṛṣṇera nitya-dāsa: “The self, or individual soul, is an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa.” Thus because they were rendering the most intense loving service to the Lord, the gopīs were situated at the highest stage of self-realization.
