TRANSLATION

[Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued:] O King, one gopī climbed on another's shoulders and, putting her foot on the other's head, said, "Go away from here, O wicked snake! You should know that I have taken birth in this world just to punish the envious."

PURPORT

Here the gopīs enact Kṛṣṇa's chastisement of Kāliya.
