In next three verses Lord Krishna tries to dislodge the Gopis from the path of their eternal love for him by telling that from material nature point of view it is the pious duty of women to take care of their husbands, relations and off springs.
Bhartuh shururham strirham paro dharmo himayaya I
Tadbandhunam ch kalyaryah prajanam chanuposharham II(24)
Keeping the material nature, serving husbands is the foremost duty of wives, it is also duty to serve better the relations and look after the off springs.
Comments: Lord Krishna has revealed the material duties of women. While in embodiment of women, self souls have been advised to faithfully serve their husbands, mothers, fathers and other material relations apart from child care.
Lord Krishna has condemned any type of spurious retaliation by women.
Lord says;
Dusheelo durbhago vridho jadho rogiadhanoapi va I
Patih stribhih na hatavyo lokeapsubhirpatki II (25)
Not being unfaithful, a cruel, unfortunate, old, dud, sick and poor husband is not to be rejected by woman who desires heaven.
Asvargamayashasy ch phalgu krichhirham bhayavaham I
Jugupsitam ch sarvatra oppatayam kulstriyah II (26)
Adultery has been condemned and its consequences are frightening, it neither leads to heaven and has been deplored in scriptures, as such this is to be shunned by women of all classes.
By asserting these verses Lord Krishna tests the devotion of Gopis towards Him. In foregoing verses the different scenes of departing cowherd women have been stated. They were so fascinated by devotion to Lord that they were merely undergoing the remainder of their attachment with material evolutes in their present bodies which they had with the consent of Lord Krishna to share his divine play otherwise they had attained liberation in their previous material spectre.
It is stated as such in following verse:
Yatpadpankajparagnisheivtripta
Yogparbhavvidhootsarvkarambandhah I
Svairam charanti munyoapi na
Nahyamanatasyeichhyaatvapushah kut eiv bandhah II (35)
By whose feet service the liberated souls always find satisfaction and by surrender unto Him they become desire less and liberated from circle of transmigration, they have obtained bodies of Gopis in consonance with Lord’ desire to make them part of play, how such souls can face bondage.
