<div class="purport text"><p>The left wing and right wing of the gopīs has been explained by Rūpa Gosvāmī in his Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi (Sakhī-prakaraṇa 26 and 32). The left wing is described in this way:</p>
:māna-grahe sadodyuktā tac-chaithilye ca kopanā
:abhedyā nāyake prāyaḥ krūrā vāmeti kīrtyate
<p>"A gopī who is always eager to be jealously angered, who is very enthusiastic for that position, who immediately becomes angry when defeated, who is never under the control of a hero, and who always opposes Him is called a vāmā, or a left-wing gopī."</p>
<p>Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī describes the right-wing gopīs in this way:</p>
:asahyā māna-nirbandhe nāyake yukta-vādinī
:sāmabhis tena bhedyā ca dakṣiṇā parikīrtitā
<p>"A gopī who cannot tolerate womanly anger, who speaks suitable words to the hero, and who is satisfied by His sweet words is called a dakṣiṇā, or a right-wing gopī."</p>
