Srila Rupa Gosvami

Vrindavanam gacchata uddhavasya vakyam
Uddhava’s Words on Arriving in Vrindavana

Verse 350

I offer my respectful obeisances
to the gopis. When Krishna,
the husband of the goddess
of fortune, remembers
their transcendental qualities,
His warm sighs wilt the
vaijayanti garland on His chest.
