svagatam vo maha-bhaga

Translation: 

 

[Lord Krsna said:] Welcome, O most fortunate ladies. Please sit down and make yourselves comfortable. What can I do for you? That you have come here to see Me is most appropriate.

 

Purport: 

 

Just as Sri Krsna welcomed the gopis who came to dance with Him at night, He similarly welcomed the brahmanas’ wives, whose pure love for Him was proved by their overcoming many hindrances to see the Lord. The word upapannam indicates that although these ladies had rejected their husbands’ orders, their behavior was not at all inappropriate, since their husbands had obviously tried to obstruct their loving service to Lord Krsna.
