1. Vaikuntha understanding of the gopis

    Just like Radharani and the gopis. They are on the same status, but the gopis know that “Radharani is the better worshiper than us.” Therefore their only business is how to take Radharani and join with Krsna. This is Vaikuntha understanding. They are not envious that “Krsna loves Radharani so much.”
