TRANSLATION

"During the rasa dance Sri Krsna did not exchange loving affairs with Srimati Radharani due to the presence of the other gopis. Because of the dependence of the others, the intensity of love between Radha and Krsna was not manifest. Therefore He stole Her away.

PURPORT

Out of fear of the other gopis, Lord Sri Krsna took Srimati Radharani to a secluded place. In this regard, the verse kamsarir api (the following verse 106) will be quoted from the Gita-govinda of Jayadeva Gosvami.
