चुरि करिऽ राधाके निल गोपीगणेर डरे अन्यापेक्षा हैले प्रेमेर गाढता ना स्फुरे

Translation

"During the rāsa dance Śrī Kṛṣṇa did not exchange loving affairs with Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī due to the presence of the other gopīs. Because of the dependence of the others, the intensity of love between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa was not manifest. Therefore He stole Her away.

Purport

Out of fear of the other gopīs, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa took Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī to a secluded place. In this regard, the verse kaṁsārir api (the following verse 106) will be quoted from the Gīta-govinda of Jayadeva Gosvāmī.
