<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 8.246|CC Madhya 8.246, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">Above Prahlāda, the Pāṇḍavas are supposedly more advanced. Above the Pāṇḍavas are the members of the Yadu dynasty, who are even more advanced. In the Yadu dynasty, Uddhava is the furthest advanced, and above Uddhava are the damsels of Vraja-dhāma, the gopīs themselves.</p><br />
<p>In the Bṛhad-vāmana Purāṇa, Lord Brahmā tells Bhṛgu:</p><br />
:ṣaṣṭi-varṣa-sahasrāṇi mayā taptaṁ tapaḥ purā<br />
:nanda-gopa-vraja-strīṇāṁ pāda-reṇūpalabdhaye<br />
<p>"I underwent meditation and austerities for sixty thousand years just to understand the dust of the lotus feet of the gopīs. Still, I could not understand it. To say nothing of me, even Lord Śiva, Lord Śeṣa and the goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī, could not understand it."</p><br />
<p>In the Ādi Purāṇa the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself says:</p><br />
:na tathā me priyatamo brahmā rudraś ca pārthiva<br />
:na ca lakṣmīr na cātmā ca yathā gopī-jano mama<br />
<p>"Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, the goddess of fortune and even My own self are not as dear to Me as the gopīs."</p><br />

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:NOD 22|Nectar of Devotion 22]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">In the Bṛhad-vāmana Purāṇa, the Lord says, "Although I have many fascinating pastimes, whenever I think of the rāsa-līlā, which I perform with the gopīs, I become eager to have it again."</p><br />
<p>One devotee has said, "I know about Nārāyaṇa, the husband of the goddess of fortune, and I also know about many other incarnations of the Lord. Certainly all the pastimes of such incarnations are exciting to my mind, but still the pastimes of the rāsa-līlā performed by Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself are wonderfully increasing my transcendental pleasure."</p><br />
