tat-purtito ‘bhut sukha-sambhrtam jagat
The gopis were enchanted by the sounds of Krsna’s flute. Because the gopis were enchanted the great great rasa-dance festival was performed. Because rasa-dance festival was performed the Lord’s desires were fulfilled. Because the Lord’s desires were fulfilled, the universe became full of joy.

He trembles with love for Her and wanders aimlessly as a madman.
