  1. Verse 1

    prasīda bhartṛ-saṁruddha gopī-premāgni-vardhana sva-kāmonmatta-gopa-strī-deha-bandha-vimocana

    prasida bhartr-samruddha gopi-premagni-vardhana sva-kamonmatta-gopa-stri-deha-bandha-vimocana

    प्रसीद भर्तृसंरुद्ध गोपीप्रेमाग्निवर्धन स्वकामोन्मत्तगोपस्त्रीदेहबन्धविमोचन

    O Lord Krsna, please be merciful unto me. When some of the gopis were forcibly prevented from going to You by their husbands, those gopis acutely burned in the great fire of pure love for You. Maddened with their great desire to attain You, those gopis became free from the bonds of material corporal existence.

  2. Verse 2

    śuka-krodhokti-nirṇīta-mahā-mahima-sāgara krodhādi-bhajamānārtha-prada-smaraṇa māṁ smara

    suka-krodhokti-nirnita-maha-mahima-sagara krodhadi-bhajamanartha-prada-smarana mam smara

    शुकक्रोधोक्तिनिर्णीतमहामहिमसागर क्रोधादिभजमानार्थप्रदस्मरण मां स्मर

    O Lord Krsna, when Sukudeva Gosvami heard King Pariksit's question, the sage became angry and chastised his student, explaining that You are a great a ocean of transcendental glorious qualities. Sukadeva explained that remembrance of You, even if performed with anger, grants great spiritual benefit. O Lord, please remember me.

About this song

Based on Verse 2, the question King Pariksit asked was: "The gopis did not know that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They accepted Him as a beautiful boy, and considered Him to be their paramour. So how was it possible for them to get freed from the material condition just by thinking of a paramour?"
