PURPORT
This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.30.4).
The gopis almost went mad due to Krsna’s suddenly leaving the rasa dance.
Because the gopis were fully absorbed in thoughts of Krsna, they were imitating His different postures and pastimes.
They became very saddened because of His absence, and this incident is explained by Sukadeva Gosvami to Maharaja Pariksit.
