Meditation on the five-sectioned Gopala mantra preceded by the kama-bija enables one to relish prema.

Brahma replied to the Kumaras: [Krishna's form is] dressed as a cowherd, has the color of a cloud, is youthful, and has taken refuge under a desire tree.

Brahma answers the four questions posed to him by the Kumaras.

The four Kumaras inquire from Brahma.

Swami Tripurari explains how verse one of Gopala-tapani Upanisad contains the mangalacarana (auspicious invocation), vastu-nirdesa (essence of the text), and asirvada (offering of a blessing).

“Gopala” means one who protects (pala) cows (go), in other words, a cowherd. “Tapani” means to shed light. Thus Gopala-tapani Upanisad is that esoteric doctrine that sheds light on the cowherd Krishna.

The final portion of Swami B. V. Tripurari’s Siksastakam of Sri Caitanya.

In the eighth stanza of Siksastakam, Mahaprabhu reveals that he now completely identifies himself as a maidservant of Krishna. This identification began in the fifth stanza of his, in which Mahaprabhu humbly prayed for divine service.

While on the outside the effects of prema appear like poison, on the inside they are filled with ananda.

True spiritual humility is found in those well endowed with spiritual excellences. Such humility is an integral component of prema, for just as humility fosters prema, prema in turn fosters humility.

In the second portion of chapter six of Siksastakam of Sri Caitanya, Swami Tripurari outlines the five components of rasa as developed in Indian aesthetics and adopted by Sri Rupa Goswami.
