srimathe ramanujaya nama:
jai sri krishna

dear bhaagavatas,
adiyal has got a question based on sri krishnamachari swamy's post on sri 
vishnu sahasra namam.


 >718. darpa-dah - a) The Bestower of pride (to His devotees).
 > b) The Bestower of beauty and attractiveness in everything.
 >
 >om darpa-dAya namah.
 >
 >a) SrI kRshNa datta bhAradvAj gives the explanation - darpo harshah;
 >tam sAttvikebhyo dadAti AtmAnam pradarSya iti darpa-dah. BhagavAn
 >makes His true devotees proud by revealing Himself to them. SrI
 >aNNa'ngarAcArya svAmi's anubhavam is that bhagavAn gives full enjoyment
 >of Himself to His true devotees, and makes them feel proud of this
 >experience. tiru ara'ngattu amudanAr expresses this kind of pride
 >arising out of his association with emperumAnAr - "enakku Arum nigar
 >illaiyE"; "Ar
 >enakku inRu nigar, Sollil?", "enakku enna tAzhvu iniyE?".
 >

my question is, then why did krishna disappear from among the gopis, when 
they were feeling proud, prior to the rasa leela?

my advance thanks to all bhaagavatas :)
