When the gopis went to associate with Krsna, Yogamaya presented duplicates of the gopis' forms before their husbands. In this way the husbands thought their wives were always with them, and they never became jealous of Krsna. Bewildered by the Lord's yogamaya potency, the vrajavasis who sere the gopis' so-called husbands thought their wives were staying by their side. They did not know that their wives had gone to Krsna, and therefore they were not jealous of Krsna.Kanyaka (unmarried Gopis): The young unmarried gopis were still under the protection of their parents. They were absorbed in childhood games with their friends. They were shy and possessed all the charm of youthful innocence. These young girls, headed by the gopi Dhanya, devotedly followed an austere vow to please the goddess Durga and get Krsna as their husband. Krsna later fulfilled their desire, and in this way they became the dear lovers of Krsna. My dear friend, you are only a tiny child, intently playing in the dust without even a shirt. You are so young that your cowherd father has not even begun to search for your future husband. Even though you are so young, now that you hear the warbling sounds of peacock-feather crowned Krsna in Vrndavana forest, you are trembling, and your eyes are rolling about in ecstatic love.
