PURPORT

Because the blue lotus flower blossoms with the rising of the sun, the sun is the friend of the blue lotus. The cakravaka birds also appear when the sun rises, and therefore the cakravakas and blue lotuses meet. Although the blue lotus is a friend of the sun, in Krsna's pastimes it nevertheless plunders their mutual friend the cakravaka. Normally, cakravakas move about whereas lotuses stand still, but herein Krsna's hands, which are compared to blue lotuses, attack the breasts of the gopis, which are compared to cakravakas. This is called a reverse analogy. At night the red lotus blossoms, whereas in sunlight it closes. Therefore the red lotus is an enemy to the sun and is unknown to the sun's friend the cakravaka. The gopis' breasts, however, are compared to cakravakas and their hands to red lotuses protecting them. This is a wonderful instance of reverse analogy.
