PURPORT
Gopala was situated in Vrndavana, which was far from Remuna.
In those days, one had to pass through provinces governed by the Muslims, who sometimes hindered travelers.
Considering the trouble of His devotee, Lord Gopala, the greatest well-wisher of His devotees, ordered Madhavendra Puri to smear the sandalwood pulp on the body of Gopinatha, which was nondifferent from the body of Gopala.
In this way the Lord relieved Madhavendra Puri from trouble and inconvenience.
