The Greatness of Gopis .... (3)

It is not surprising that Uddhava desired the sweetness of the gopis' prema and begged to be born as a blade of grass sprinkled with the dust from their feet. The glory of the gopis' love is expressed by Uddhava's desire to have the intensity of their love by being a blade of grass.

Therefore, Uddhava says, as referred in the Tenth Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, as follows:

The gopis of Vrindavana have given up the association of their husbands, sons and other family members, who are very difficult to give up, and they have forsaken the path of chastity to take shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, Krishna, which one should search for by Vedic knowledge. Oh, let me be fortunate enough to be one of the bushes, creepers or herbs in Vrindavana, because the gopis trample them and bless them with the dust of their lotus feet.
